Believe it or not, this was Michael's 5th album but it was the first one that, as BJ said, was produced by Quincy Jones which really launched his popularity as a solo artist. This album also had Rock With You, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, She's Out of My Life, and Workin' Day and Night but all the songs are fabulous!

@sumonjamal1653 Жыл бұрын

This was 1979, Michael Jackson's first major attempt at a solo record since Jackson 5 left the Motown label... 'Off the wall' is just a fun disco/ funk/ pop record ... and M.J. was only 20 yrs old at the time - it became a huge hit... bigger than any of The Jacksons' records of that era. It was definitely the precursor to 'Thriller' which came in 1982.

What’s fascinating about “Off The Wall” is MJ was influenced by his time spent living in NYC for a year with Diana Ross while filming “The Wiz” and hanging out @Studio 54. When he talked to Rod Temperton and Quincy about his vision this was it. You can tell that “Thriller” was more Pop & commercial oriented. Most r&b classic stations still keep this in their rotation more often than “Thriller”.

@zanohoriamazo1 Жыл бұрын

Amazing! This is THEE album where Michael established his grown man personal sound & style. It is also the album that Don’t Stop Til Yiu Get Enough I’d from, where MJ sings the complete song in falsetto. Off the Wall is the title track of the album & is the predecessor to Thriller. What both have in common besides Quincy Jones’ production & bassist Louis Johnson of Brothers Johnson, is the composer of the songs, the late Rod Temperton. THAT man was one busy songwriter whom most reactors to music on KZfaq would do well to familiarize themself with. Anyway, director Spike Lee did a documentary that can be found on KZfaq or Netflix called, Michael Jackson’s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall. There are short interviews mixed in with many artists & even others like the late Kobe B. Definitely worth checking out. 👍🏾 Dance like Gumby 😂. That should be a song. Eddie Murphy used to do Gumby on SNL like he was a cranky Jewish guy.

I used to buy 45's more than albums unless the album had at least 3 hit songs.

Jermaine Jackson had done a solo album about 3 years earlier. Just when the whole Jackson family was leaving Motown and moving to Philadelphia International. Norman Harris produced and several of the former members of MFSB played on it. But Gordy Berry never released it (possibly out of spite?) and Kenny Gamble never wanted any competition for the Jacksons album on PIR. Tunes from that album can be found here on You Tube. It was eventually released in the UK.
