This is the same set and sequence as Hip-O's 2004 compilation of the Jacksons called The Jacksons Story but with different cover art. Spanning the years 1969 to 1983, it includes material from both the group's Motown and Epic years, a definite plus, and adds solo tracks by Jermaine Jackson (who remained at Motown when the rest of the Jacksons moved on to Epic), and Michael Jackson, most notably his massive solo hit from 1983, "Billie Jean," a song that all but sealed his fate as the biggest pop star in the known universe. ~ Steve Leggett
Gary, Indiana brothers Tito, Jermaine, Randy, Michael, and Marlon Jackson were the Jackson 5 (later known simply as the Jacksons). One of the most influential and successful vocal groups of all time, they became worldwide superstars before they hit their teens. The Jackson 5's music was a highly accessible mix of R&B and straight pop with enormous crossover appeal. The group's focus was on the prodigious talents of its lead singer, Michael, who even at nine years old sang with the authentic soul feel of a grown man. Michael's subsequent solo career made him one of the biggest-selling artists in history, but the work of the Jackson 5 remains a vital part of pop and R&B history.
