One Day in Your Life (album)
One Day in Your Life is a compilation released by Michael Jackson's former label Motown Records, consisting of both solo and Jackson 5 tracks, released on March 25, 1981.[2] It was the first Jackson album released in the 1980s. Most of the tracks are from his fourth studio album, Forever, Michael. The other songs were taken from The Jackson 5 releases to pad the album's running time. Motown later admitted that the album was just a quick cash boost generating from the success of Jackson's Off the Wall album.[3]
