The Motown Years
The Motown Years (also known as The Motown Years 50) is a 3-disc compilation box set by American singer Michael Jackson and the group The Jackson 5, released on 2008 by Universal Music Group celebrating Jackson's 50th birthday. The 50-track album features all of the hits through the Motown years from both the Jackson 5 with "ABC", "I Want You Back", "Never Can Say Goodbye" and Michael's solo material including "You've Got a Friend", "Ben", "Ain't No Sunshine" and "One Day in Your Life", all of them during their tenure on  Motown (1969–1975), with the exception of "Farewell My Summer Love" and "Girl You're So Together", which were released in 1984 long after they had left the company. Unlike Motown's previous 1995 4-disc "Soulsation!" and 2005 2-disc "Gold" (both of which contain many of the same songs as here), the tracks on this 3-disc set are not ordered chronologically. Also in contrast to "Soulsation!", there is no previously unreleased music. The only mildly rare songs included are the b-sides "I'm So Happy" and "Love Song," both of which previously appeared on the 2000 version  of "Anthology" (re-released with the title "Gold" in 2005), and also the 2001 "Two Classic Albums/One CD" series, as bonus tracks on "Maybe Tomorrow" and "Lookin' Through the Windows".
