Details are now coming out revealing a close relationship between Senator John McCain and four performing Jackson brothers who together with McCain, were known as the Jackson Five in the early 70's.

After returning from his prisoner of war imprisonment in Hanoi, Johnnie looked outside his home and wife for personal gratification.
Known to enjoy singing high-pitched Abba tunes to annoy his Viet Cong captors, Johnnie, looked to exploit his musical talent. After trying to make it with such groups as the Four Aces, Four Preps and the Four Freshman, he attempted to kick off his singing career by visiting the home of Joe Jackson, a former Jehovah Witness whose children wore the same Afro-hairdo that Black Panthers and other 60’s radicals like Angela Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, and Clarence Williams III favored. The elder Jackson was looking to replace his son Jackie, who had tired of his father’s demand that the boys wear the “fro.” Johnnie found an undeniable attraction to Joe’s four other troubadour sons, Marlon, Tito, Michael and Jermaine. They quickly bonded and began performing under the moniker of The Jackson 5.
