La Toya Yvonne Jackson was born on May 29, 1956, in Gary, Indiana. As the fifth child of the well-known Jackson family, she began her career in entertainment alongside her siblings. Her initial foray into the spotlight was on the family’s variety television series, “The Jacksons,” which aired on CBS between 1976 and 1977. During this time, she contributed vocals and performed skits, laying the groundwork for her solo endeavors. While growing up, La Toya aspired to pursue a career in business law and attended college briefly before being encouraged by her father, Joe Jackson, to join the family in show business.
Jackson embarked on a solo recording career in the 1980s, releasing her self-titled debut album in 1980 under Polydor. The album featured the modest hit single “If You Feel the Funk” and “Night Time Lover,” co-written and produced by her brother Michael Jackson. The album reached number 116 on the US Billboard 200, marking her highest-charting album to date. Her 1984 album, “Heart Don’t Lie,” included her most successful Billboard Hot 100 single, the title track, which peaked at number 56. Over 15 years, she released nine studio albums with various labels, including Epic and RCA. In 1985, she participated in the iconic charity single “We Are the World” and also featured in the anti-drug music video “Stop the Madness.” Her single “Baby Sister” received an Outstanding Song Award at the 16th annual World Popular Song Festival in Japan.
Beyond music, Jackson expanded her brand into fashion and cosmetics. In 1984, she launched a fashion line “David Laurenz for La Toya,” which included her signature leather headbands. The following year, she became a spokesperson for Mahogany Image cosmetics and introduced her eponymous fragrance, “La Toya.” She also starred in television and print advertisements for Nikon cameras. In 1992, she signed a multi-million-dollar contract with the Moulin Rouge in Paris, becoming the highest-paid performer in the cabaret’s history with her show “Formidable.” In later years, she featured in reality television shows such as “The Celebrity Apprentice” (2011) and “Life with La Toya” (2013-2014) on the Oprah Winfrey Network, further diversifying her career.
