African-US American R&B and pop singer La Toya Jackson (born La Toya Yvonne Jackson, May 29, 1956 in Gary, Indiana) is the fifth child of the hugely successful Jackson music family. She is the older sister of Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson.

La Toya Jackson was the first female sibling of the Jackson family to pursue a solo musical career. Her debut album “La Toya Jackson” was released in 1980 on Polydor Records, comprised by a mix of funk uptempo songs and ballads. The first single off the album, “If You Feel The Funk”, was critically acclaimed and was a chart single in most European countries (#40 on the Billboard R&B Charts, #17 Billboard Dance/Club Play), #42 in Germany, and #18 in Holland), as well as an US moderate R&B hit. The second single, “Night Time Lover”, didn’t do as well as the first single release, although it was co-written and co-produced by her brother Michael Jackson. The album also included a cover version of the Billy Ocean hit “Are You Ready?”.

One year later Jackson released her sophomore album “My Special Love,” which was basically similarly constructed as her debut album. Again, she co-wrote one of the songs with her sister Janet Jackson and she did another cover version of a Billy Ocean hit, this time the song “Stay The Night,” which was also released as the first single off the album. Her brothers, Tito Jackson, Marlon Jackson and Jackie Jackson also contributed to the album. During that time, La Toya was still managed by her father Joseph Jackson.
