Michael Jackson Thriller: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
By
When people think of Michael Jackson Thriller a lot of things come to mind. Thriller was Jackson’s sixth album that he ever put out. This album was released worldwide in nineteen eighty two. This album came after his other famous album off the wall which came out in nineteen seventy nine.
Between off the wall and thriller Jackson went through a lot of changes. Between this time Jackson was having a lot of family problems. Including his father going through an affair with another woman that was twenty years younger than him and also having a child with the same woman, and then later telling his family about 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.
In a little over a year the album “Thriller” became the number one selling album of all time. And up to this very day still remains the number one album of all time. The sales of Thriller were estimated to be at seventy to one hundred and ten million tracks in the united states. This record won a record breaking eight Grammies in nineteen eighty four.
