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.

It)". Donner was only 40 when he died of lung cancer in April of 1984.
