LaToya Jackson
b. 29 May 1956, Gary, Indiana, USA. As a member of the singing Jackson family, LaToya served her apprenticeship as a backing vocalist to the Jacksons group along with her sisters, Rebbieand Janet Jackson. LaToya embarked on a solo career in 1980, signing to the Polydor label. Despite the family connection, LaToya 's solo career found difficulty in emulating the success of her younger sister Janet; her highest single chart position was with the US number 56, Hearts Don't Lie (1984) on her new label, Private I/Epic. A later label change to RCA did not alter her fortunes. She later exacerbated family relations with a somewhat scurrilous autobiography in 1991.
