Luther Jackson/History

Luther Jackson was born in Fountain Hill, Arkansas, the youngest of five to Crystal Lee (née King; 1907-1992) and Samuel Jackson (1893-1993). His siblings were Joseph Walter (born 1928), Verna Mae (1930-1937), Lula Mae (born c. 1932), and Lawrence (born c. 1933).
When Joe Jackson formed The Falcons, Luther joined as a saxophonist. However, after a couple years, the group failed to get a recording deal and broke up.
