The Triumph is the official music video and short film for "Can You Feel It" by The Jacksons. The film accompanies the song's lyrics by containing artistic visuals pertaining to global harmony and world peace. It is entitled "Can You Feel It" on the DVD box set, Michael Jackson's Vision, and on The Jacksons' Official YouTube channel.
