The Jacksons - Victory - Album

Victory is a Grammy-nominated 1984 album by The Jacksons for CBS / Epic Records. It was the only album to include all six Jackson brothers together as an official group. (However, the title track to the Jacksons' final album, 1989's 2300 Jackson Street, did feature all six Jacksons, along with their sisters Janet and Rebbie. LaToya was the only sibling who did not make an appearance.)

After a successful reunion on the Motown 25 television special in 1983, Jermaine Jackson decided to return to the group, having left Motown after nine years as a full-fledged soloist. His brothers had left Motown in 1975. Tensions reportedly grew between the brothers during the recording sessions; as a result, little publicity photography was done, and the album cover art was commissioned from famed illustrator Michael Whelan (this is also why the album only had two videos - for the songs 'Torture' and 'Body' - and neither Jermaine nor Michael appeared in either one). As well, the brothers rarely worked together on the album; it was mainly composed of solo songs the brothers had each worked on during that time.

The song 'State of Shock' reached number 14 in the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second single, 'Torture', reached number 26 in the UK Singles Chart and reached number 17 in the US, but 'Body', the third single, missed the Top 40, climbing only to number 47 in the US but missed the UK chart altogether.

Victory was supported by the Victory Tour, with lead singer Michael Jackson, who had recently released the world's all-time best-selling album, Thriller, prominently featured. Shortly after the tour ended, Michael and Marlon Jackson quit the band. Jermaine, Tito, Randy and Jackie Jackson continued on as the Jacksons, and releasing one more album, 1989's 2300 Jackson Street, before splitting up.
