    This album was released in 1979, remember hearing this song and Rock with You constantly on the radio as an 8 year old and thinking even then what cool songs they were. Love hearing them in the car when either are played, just puts you in a good mood

      ​@@TiltonRD very true, he wrote many songs for many artists including Quincy. It always surprises me that he's not mentioned enough. I wonder how both albums would be without his songs. But when I listen to human nature written by someone else, only MJ can sing it.

    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

    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.

    @zanohoriamazo1 Год назад +5

    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 RUclips would do well to familiarize themself with. Anyway, director Spike Lee did a documentary that can be found on RUclips 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.

  • @ccth22
    @ccth22 Год назад +5

    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”.

    Even though Michael had four other solo albums. This one always felted like the first one because he had more control over the music on this album. This one came out in 1979 when I was elven years old.

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

    This record was played on radio, parties, nightclubs, and Studio 54, all day and all night. But you must also checkout the Jackson 5ive glide across the dance floor with SHAKE YOUR BODY (DOWN TO THE GROUND). Enjoy

    Michael worked his tail off on this album and on Thriller. Finished reading recently the whole story behind it and it's quite insane yall. Working with Paul McCartney, Night Ranger along with Quincy Jones was out of this world. I highly suggest you have your patrons vote on you watching The Wiz where he played the Scarecrow. It was a cool movie. This went back to 1979.

    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.

    Hell we were dancing too this when it first came out everyone knew this whole album was pure gold a lot of great songs that made your girlfriend shake it and get into that groove. Rock with you and Don't StopTil You Get Enough. I've always like Workin Day And Night great bass.
