Victory is a 1984 album by The Jacksons for CBS/Epic Records. It was the first and only album to include all six Jackson brothers together on one record.
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 an illustration was commissioned for the album cover (this is also why the album only had two videos Torture and Body with Jermaine and Michael not included). Also the brothers rarely worked together on the album it was mainly composed of solo songs the brothers had each work on during that time. This album was the first album to have leads by each brother. The first single "State Of Shock" did very well entering number 3 on the pop charts. Two later singles Torture and Body were less successful.
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 for good.
