1963

Epic Records set a record as two million copies of the Jacksons’ "Victory"
were shipped to stores. It was the first time that such a large initial shipment had been made. On the first release of the record (above) there was a white dove on Randy’s shoulder (third from left). On later issues the bird was removed. It was the only album to include all six Jackson brothers together
as an official group; also, it was the last album entirely recorded with lead singer Michael Jackson.

Ral Donner scored several pop hits in the early 1960s with a voice similar 
to Elvis Presley’s. His best remembered and biggest song is the 1961 #4
Billboard Hot 100 hit "You Don’t Know What You’ve Got (Until You Lose
It)". Donner was only 40 when he died of lung cancer in April of 1984.
