Janet Jackson’s Incredible Transformation

A born performer, Janet Jackson struggled in the shadow of her famous brothers for years before breaking out in the mid-’80s. Her career transformed in this rich and fertile period, with a string of albums that helped make her the icon she is today. But after her big breakthrough, she hit some rocky patches; most notably, the 2004 Super Bowl halftime scandal became an unfortunate setback she had to overcome. In recent years, Jackson has staged an impressive late-career comeback, including a Las Vegas residency and a spot in the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
