The Essential Jacksons is the first compilation to cover The Jacksons' fourteen-year-long tenure at CBS/Epic Records. Released in 2004 by Epic, this compilation includes stand-out hits such as "Enjoy Yourself", "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", "Can You Feel It", and "State of Shock". A handful of the Jacksons' later hits were omitted, including "Torture" and "Body" from the Victory album as well as "Time Out For The Burglar".
