Album Summary

Goin' Places is the twelfth studio album by The Jacksons. It would be the last Jacksons' album released as a joint venture between Epic Records and Philadelphia International Records. Goin' Places peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States, and at No. 11 on the US Soul Albums chart. The album sold over half a million copies worldwide. This is considered their lowest-selling album next to 2300 Jackson Street. A concert tour to promote the album, named the Goin' Places Tour, ran from January to May 1978.

Goin' Places spawned the disco-hit Different Kind Of Lady written by the group. The song gave the brothers the confidence to write and produce an entire album by themselves.
