The Jacksons: Destiny
Pete Wingfield, Melody Maker, 2 December 1978
THIS IS AN important album for the Jacksons now five again, with a small letter at least, Jermaine's defection having been balanced by lil' bro' Randy's recruitment to the ranks. For the first time, all (but one track) of Destiny has been produced and written by the brothers themselves.
