Superstar singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress Janet Jackson has taken the time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of her most iconic albums.
Jackson, 60, released “20 Y.O.” on September 26, 2006. The album’s title refers to it being released on the twentieth anniversary of her 1986 commercial breakthrough album “Control,” which she made when she was 20, and the fact that she says she felt 20 while making “20 Y.O.” in 2006, despite actually being 40 at the time.
Other tracks on the album included “So Excited” (featuring Khia), “With U,” “Call on Me” (with Nelly), and “Love 2 Love.”
The tenth and youngest child of the famous Jackson family has taken to social media to mark the album’s 20th anniversary with a collection of hotter-than-hell throwback snaps from 2006.
