After arranging a recording contract with A&M Records in 1982 for a then-16-year-old Janet, her father Joseph Jackson oversaw the entire production of her debut album, "Janet Jackson", and its follow-up, "Dream Street" (1984). Jackson was initially reluctant to begin a recording career, explaining, "I was coming off of a TV show that I absolutely hated doing, "Fame". I didn't want to do first record. I wanted to go to college. But I did it for my father ..." and elaborated that she was often in conflict with her producers. Amidst her professional struggles, she rebelled against her family's wishes by marrying James DeBarge of the family recording group DeBarge in 1984. The Jacksons disapproved of the relationship, citing DeBarge's immaturity and substance abuse. Jackson left her husband in January 1985 and was granted an annulment later that year.
