On this day, 21 February 1979, pop/soul legends The Jacksons, formerly Jackson 5, played Cardiff’s Sophia Gardens on their Destiny tour.
Destiny was the thirteenth studio album released by American band the Jacksons. It was released in November 1978 by Epic Records and CBS Records. The album marked the first time in the band's career in which they had complete artistic control, producing it themselves after previously working under the supervision of Philadelphia soul architects Gamble and Huff.
Including the international hits "Blame It on the Boogie" and "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", the album would eventually sell over four million copies worldwide, two million in America during its initial run and another two million worldwide. It was promoted with a year-long world tour.
