Sometimes It's About The Family

Ripe off Michael's solo success with "Thriller" and off of a successful Motown 25th anniversary appearance, the Jacksons got together and put out "Victory." The album was a Grammy-nominated 1984 album and was the only album to include all six Jackson brothers together as an official group.
I bought this cassette tape unfortunately as it was a major let down for me personally. The only decent songs off of the "Victory" album were "State of Shock" with Mick Jagger and the following video which doesn't feature Michael in it at all (or Jermaine) though he does sing on the song - choreographed by Paula Abdul, here are The Jacksons with "Torture"...
