Which family music group released the album 'Destiny' in 1978?

The family music group that released the 1978 album Destiny was the Jacksons. The group consisted of Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael, and later Randy Jackson, although Jermaine did not participate in this album’s lineup.

Destiny was the Jacksons’ thirteenth studio album and was released by Epic Records in 1978. It marked a major creative turning point: Epic gave the brothers much more control over their material, allowing them to write and produce most of the album themselves after their years with Motown and Philadelphia International.

The album helped re-establish the group commercially. It included “Blame It on the Boogie” and “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground),” the latter written by Michael and Randy Jackson. Destiny eventually sold more than four million copies worldwide and became the group’s first RIAA-certified platinum album.

A common mix-up is calling the act the Jackson 5. By the time Destiny was released, the family group had officially adopted the name the Jacksons.
