Not only is Michael entering the peak of his super powers here but so was Quincy. They were like Mike Tyson and Cus in ‘84

I don’t know this man, but I have utmost respect for his understanding of music. It’s hard to find people who go this deep and just “get it”. Impressed with this video!!!!

[OhMyGodisThataBlackCard]

Rock With You is one of those songs that can lift me up from anything.

[chucksteptoe]

I thought I was the only person who thought this. The Rock With You bridge alone is one of the greatest transition in music history. The whole piece is pure genius

It's almost fictional how crazy of a combo Michael and Quincy was. A man who's one of the most musically knowledged/talented humans of all time, and one of the most creative and talented singers of all time.

"Off the wall" is a very underrated album.

[tuomonic]

Fun fact: the drummer of the record got told when recording (there was already springs and stuff recorded) that play a drum fill so good that people will remember it after fifty years. Now it’s been almost foyrty years and everybody regonizes it instantly. The starting of the fill is just a fast five stroke roll with kicks infront and behind

I've said this my whole life. It's actually my favorite MJ song.

If I could only listen to one artists discography for the rest of time, it would hands down be Michael's. So much timelessness! Also one of the greatest vocalists ever recorded in my opinion, very hard to do some of the stuff he did and trained professionals know this.

[strauqq]

Man, Rod Temperton was no joke. I wish I had written Rock with you and Lady in my life.

[unmellowyellow]

Off The Wall is one of my top five albums of all time. Hands down. Fucking perfection, from production to performance.

[Knick_Fury]

There’s something that should be pointed out here…there was a popular dance out at this time called “the rock” (MJ actually is doing the dance in the video). The tempo was a great fit for the dance and considering the dance preceded the record… and the fact that MJ frequented spots like Studio 54, one would have to think that the song was leaning on the popularity of the dance.

[jcarey]

To be honest, this video is ridiculously good...in fact, basically perfect. Much respect to you

[k.chriscaldwell]

This album is his finest. Thriller is cotton candy, Bad funnel cake, but Off the Wall is a glass of sweet lemonade with a slice of lemon on a hot, muggy day.

[Mike-Nice]

Couldn't agree more! It is indeed a perfect song. Imagine growing up an MJ fan but not coming to this realization until your late 40s. What a delightful gift this song is.

[leonardomurillo]

Subscribed because of the "skip bullshit" move at the beginning. Rock with You is a 100/10 song, everything about it is on point. You should check out the remixes on YouTube, they're amazing.

[Miloo-qjsc]

I feel so blessed to have been born in the 80’s and experienced Michael Jackson music.

[rheahayman]

“The man has a gift.” You! You have a gift.

[analog-dEVA]

ROCK WITH YOU IS LITERALLY THE SONG I WANT PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL!!!!

You are a talented guy! Even without an intro or outro, your videos are like musical TED talks. 💯 I feel better, smarter and more inspired after watching. Not to mention entertaining. 🔥
