Michael Jackson Thriller: The Man And His Song
Posted by Jon Moreno | Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Michael Jackson Thriller was the number one selling album of all time and was the sixth album that was put out by Michael Jackson. Epic records released this album in November of nineteen eighty two. Thriller followed another famous album Off the wall which was released in nineteen seventy nine.
This song has become even more popular since Jackson’s death in two thousand nine. Thriller is the sixth album that was released by Michael Jackson. And it quickly became my favorite the first time I ever heard it. I also love to watch the music video because it is a very interesting dance that Jackson and his crew do in it.
Thriller made Jackson one of the most famous people in the twentieth century and this allowed him to break some barriers of racial people. Some of the reasons he was able to break the racial barrier that people held was because of his meeting with Ronald Regan at the White house. This album and song was one of the first to make famous the Use of Music videos to promote songs.
Thriller is a lot like the album off the wall because it follows genres like funk and disco. To describe thrillers lyrics I would have to say they are like experiencing paranoia and the supernatural.
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.
Unlike many artists, Jackson did not write his songs on paper and when he recorded he simply remembered these songs in his mind. Jones also told Jackson that thriller would not make it and be as successful as Off the wall, but Jackson went ahead and put it on the album anyways. It is a good thing he did because if he did not we would not have this wonderful song that so many people love.
