Marlon Jackson
While not a remarkable producer in Janet’s catalog, Marlon Jackson makes our list based on novelty and nepotism. The Jan Brady of the Jackson Five, Marlon is often remembered as the one kid who was one step or one note off. However, Marlon blossomed in his older years. Michael Jackson often said that his brother was the most determined and disciplined of the group, becoming an adept performer and producer. Marlon produced records not only for family members, but musical legends Barry White and Betty Wright.
Working on Janet’s second album, Dream Street, Marlon produced two songs, “All My Love to You” and the first single, “Don’t Stand Another Chance.” While failing to crack the Billboard 100, the song reached No. 9 on the R&B charts. In addition, Janet has performed the song in concert in recent years. While not fondly remembered, Marlon’s production with his sister marks one of the few times that Janet has actually worked with her famous family.
