Can You Feel It: The Jacksons Collection

Released in the U.K. around the same time as the reissues of Destiny and Triumph, the useful Can You Feel It: The Jacksons Collection could be subtitled "The Epic Years" instead, since that is the ground covered here, from 1976's The Jacksons (where the brothers worked with Gamble & Huff) to 1989's Michael-less 2300 Jackson Street (which involved collaborations with Babyface and Teddy Riley). Almost all of the notable singles that charted in the U.S. are present, including must-haves like "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and seven other Top Ten R&B singles, yet "Lovely One" and "Heartbreak Hotel" -- both of which fared just as well -- are not included. You probably won't miss the number 88 R&B smash "Time Out for the Burglar," from the soundtrack to Whoopi Goldberg's The Burglar. ~ Andy Kellman
