Johnny Porter Jackson (March 3, 1951 – March 1, 2006) was an American drummer, noted for being the drummer for The Jackson 5 from their early Gary, Indiana days until the end of their famed career at Motown. [1]
The label promoted Jackson and keyboardist Ronnie Rancifer as the cousins of The Jackson Five, however neither Ronnie Rancifer nor Johnny Jackson are actually related to the Jacksons. [2]
On March 1, 2006, Jackson died at a home in Gary, Indiana, after being stabbed by his girlfriend, Yolanda Davis, following a quarrel. He was 54 years old. Davis later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to two years in prison. [3]
One of the most interesting photos from our perspective was this early promotional photo of Michael Jackson's first group, the Jackson 5 and Johnny.
