The Jacksons - Story: Number 1's (2007)

A compilation of 20 hits from various configurations of Jacksons, both together and solo, spanning the years 1969 to 1983. Despite the title, not all these songs reached a top spot on the US charts.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: did not chart (reached #19 on the Catalog Albums chart)

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: Not long after purchasing this disc, it turned up missing. I looked all over the house and through my truck to no avail. I finally found it in the CD player of my oldest son's car alongside some Beatles CDs. I didn't say a word and let him keep those as long as he wanted - yes, that does indeed qualify me for Father Of The Year honors.
