The thing that I get from this, is that it’s not a one person show. There is a team of talent involved. It’s not only Michael, or Quincy. It’s a multiple combo of creative ideas, starting with the idea, then arrangement, creating sounds, then performance, finally engineering and mixing/mastering. Probably 30 people involved, at least. I don’t feel so bad now, about my music, being that I’m the only one on my team. Lol.

Anthony Marinelli's YT channel is such a trip. It's crazy to have someone who recorded on such iconic albums share their knowledge so freely and graciously. What a time to be alive and making music!

[romulus_]

Crazy to see you and Anthony Marinelli together, amazing.

[sunilsolanki]

The Arp 2600 bass line in this song is just epic. Pure funk and groove. Magic.

[nanobotdex]

What makes this video so perfect is the genuine mutual respect and admiration these guys have for each other.

[MikeinAustin]

What absolute generous person Anthony. So likeable!

[TobiasTimpe]

Hold up, Doctor Mix meets with Anthony Marinelli at Quincy’s 90th birthday? This is crazy.

[IrnBruNYC]

I was not prepared for how wonderful this would be.

[EricSpoeth]

Hearing Anthony so sincere and chill... I can see why Michael worked so well with him.

If you are struggling to finish songs, watch this video, it will give you a thousand ideas, and this is the best part of youtube, that is why I tossed away all television programs and never had this much fun. Anthony's channel is beyond exceptional, but Dr. Mix is really taking it to another level, you deserve everything you worked so hard for. Cheers!

As an avid fan of both video channels, it was a thrill to have your paths cross, and in what better way to converge than for Quincy's 90th birthday concert!!!! I can totally relate to the emotional volcano that you must have felt. Can't wait for the rest of the musical excitement!

[markmilliner]

I had goosebumps the whole video !! Really awesome to be part of that Claudio 🎉❤

[AM_]

This track never fails to get me moving. The creation of the album had the best talent and of course the one and only MJ. Great video!

[MrUniq]

From a musicians standpoint it is critical to get as much information from the older generation who made such iconic music we all grew up on.

[prodtre]

pyt has always been my favorite michael song

any video deep dive is an INSTANT click from me 😅

[ellavaderknows]

Greg Phillinganes, Paul Jackson Jr, John "JR" Robinson. Those are the most heavy of the heavy hitters. That had to be a great show! And great interview with Anthony Marinelli. Thanks for sharing it, Claudio!

[FutureAbe]

These new videos about the making of classic MJ songs have been so great, and this is another one!

[Ishkur]

This was fantastic Claudio. You are hanging out with music industry royalty now!

I've always been amazed at how dense the the ideas were in an album like Thriller. It wasn't just a regular pop album. So much detail and experimentation that went into such a labor of love (and so many wild and random guest spots from Vincent Price to Eddie van Halen to Paul McCartney).

What I love about PYT is something you didn't talk about: At the end, during the coda, for no particular reason, Alvin the Chipmunk shows up. He doesn't appear anywhere else in the song or the album. He just shows up for a few bars, and that's it.

Thriller is full of these one-off sounds and ideas. Most artists today recycle their sounds, such that every song on each album sounds the same. But every song on Thriller sounds unique, like they were making a different cake from scratch, and then throwing the recipe away and starting again on the next song with completely different ingredients.

Thank you Anthony, Michael, Quincy, and everyone at Westlake, for such a genius work of art that will stand the test of time.

Quincy Jones and friends are so important in this story. I did notice the synth orchestral voice on WANNA BE STARTIN SOMETHING
