In January 1985, Marlon also announced his departure from the band in order to pursue a solo career. Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Randy went on to release an album called “2300 Jackson Street” five years later. The title references the Jackson family home in Gary, Indiana.

The album was not a commercial success, although the quartet did go on tour to promote it. This was the last album they recorded together, although there were family reunions to come over the years.
