Seeing Kobe...seeing forever the young man

I'm here because _Thriller 40_ drops this Saturday. And I plan to watch all of the docs as a trilogy. It's only right. It's MJ. 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

We all knew from Day One that Michael Jackson star power couldn't be contained within the Jackson 5 he was destined and determined for solo greatness.

[swoods]

What a visionary MJ was! Mind blowing!

[manlikeisaac]

Wow. This is amazing. So much to learn from this Legend.

[HypnoticHollywood]

Off The Wall was the biggest selling album in the history of black music until Thriller.

[Siayya]

I can’t help it is my favorite MJ. Record. I can listen to it all day long. It’s like silk 💜

[Milkers]

The album sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, deposited four singles into the Billboard Top 10 and showcased (or, more specifically, unleashed) Jackson's talents as a entertainer, a vocalist, a writer and, most importantly, as a leading man.

Off the Wall signified MJ’s independence, and not just from the stifling creative control foisted on him by the folks at Motown. Over the course of 10 revelatory tracks, MJ serves notice that he's no longer the cherub-faced boy with the notable afro, he's a full-grown man, one capable of workin' day and night, not stopping 'til he's had enough and loving so hard that it cuts like a knife. A masterful mixture of fiery disco tracks (album opener "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, " "Workin' Day and Night"), smooth, loverman tunes ("Rock With You, " the McCartney cover "Girlfriend") and positively soul-devastating ballads ("She's Out of My Life, " on which Jackson famously breaks down at track's end), Off the Wall is sumptuous, sexy and self-assured, a powerhouse that, through sheer skill of all involved, re-imagined R&B, disco and funk as not just so-called "black" music, but as colorblind, all-encompassing pop music, tunes that the entire world could groove to, And they did. Off The Wall has a lot of dance music because Michael went to a disco club called “Studio 54” alot where celebrities met at that time and he liked to see people having fun there, he was always too shy to socialize. This influenced the style of the album. Long Live The King Of Music Forever! Michael Joseph

A true genius. There will never be another artist like MJ.

thanks for putting this up on youtube. this was brilliant. he gave so much, he wanted to be the greatest, but the world swallowed him up, every star on the way up makes big money for the media, the industry and the hanger ons. but once that novelty wears off, the money isnt there for just praising. money comes from salicious stories. mj was the king. but he brought alot upon himself. but its easy to say that in hindsight! RIP KINGOFMUSIC

I love the scene of the London concert the Jackson's were singing Blame it on the Boogie, the ENTIRE audience were DANCING. Their music was so phenomenal.

Michael, what a musical genius you always were ~ this girl who grew up in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, misses you tremendously. 😇

[kikka]

An absolute great tribute to the greatest entertainer artist singer Michael Jackson !

[LorrieIrbyJackson]

I remember hearing this album for the very first time at a block party my older cousin took me to, I was seven and fell head over heels in love with MJ. OTW remind me of my absolute favorite and I am so grateful I experienced this genius and magic and wonder in real time and watched him perform live. Love you today, tomorrow and forever MJ, thank you for this documentary Spike!!! 💖💖💖

[chicaann]

Wow Michael Jackson was a genius. How amazing he was.

[danielwieten]

I can’t believe how fast they played those Off the Wall songs on that 81 tour

[marcusberry]

The first 12 seconds of working day and night is stuck in my head

[bennyd]

THE FACT.. that THE BEST of the BEST…Michael jackson….was talking to my goat….Kobe…makes complete sense…..

[danielkannan]

A Masterpiece of record making … Sui generis …

[denisefields]
