Janet Jackson

Gary, Indiana. The Jackson family's youngest. 'Control' (1986, the Jam & Lewis breakout that turned her into a star independent of the family name), 'Rhythm Nation 1814' (1989, the most successful album by a Black female artist of its decade), 'janet.' (1993), 'The Velvet Rope' (1997). If pop has a structural element called 'choreography that means something,' she invented it. The 2004 Super Bowl 'wardrobe malfunction' was a cultural inflection point with serious consequences. Eight Grammy nominations, five-and-a-half-times platinum on multiple albums, one of the most influential pop performers ever.
