Michael Jackson Thriller: The Man And His Song
When you hear these three words Michael Jackson Thriller what comes to mind? I am sure a lot of things come to mind, after all everyone knows all about Michael Jackson and his song Thriller.
Thriller is a lot like off the wall because it explores some of the same kind of music like R&B and pop. The production of thriller was one of the most exciting albums that Jackson ever put out and as of two thousand and seven it has sold a whopping sixty five million copies, just in that year.
thriller was released on November thirtieth in the year nineteen eighty two by Epic Records. This album followed Jackson's famous and successful album Off the wall which was released in nineteen seventy nine.
In nineteen eighty Jackson asked Rolling stone to do a magazine cover for his album "Off the wall" and rolling stone declined which made Jackson upset. He stated that rolling stone told him that black people on the front of magazine covers do not sell well. And Jackson said "just wait, some day the magazines would be begging me for an interview".
Thriller was also preserved to the National Library of Congress and they deemed it "Culturally significant". Jackson's other album off the wall was a huge success but not as largely known as Thriller although it did receive favorable reviews just like thriller.
Between Jackson's release of off the wall and Thriller he was going through many problems with his family. Jackson's father began an affair with a woman that was twenty years his youth in nineteen seventy three, and this in turn resulted in a child. Then in nineteen eighty his father finally told his family about the child. Michael was already mad at his father over the child abuse that he had gone through. After all this Jackson still was able to produce the biggest selling album of all time, which he called "Thriller".
