- From early beatboxing-esque vocals to soaring alternate takes and scratch melodies, I found SO many easter eggs in this Off The Wall era multitrack session. I'm excited to share them with you!

• The Style of Michael J...
Definitely my favorite song from Off the Wall. He sounded like he was so happy recording this, my favorite part is when he does that HUWAHH laugh towards the end.
Same bro❤
@@edgarvazquez1964 same here
the laugh is one of the best parts! it's so genuine
Get on the floor has the best joyous laugh.
exactly. just the best
MJ proved with this album that he also was in the disco game but at the same time it is said that the album "Off The Wall" marked the end of the disco era, but... an unforgetable new era was about the go down next where he himself would lead... reigning supreme!
👑
I’ve always preferred Off The Wall over Thriller, then Bad and Dangerous. Don’t get me wrong all are amazing and I love them but there is something about Off The Wall that makes me want to get up and …”Get On The Floor.”
Same! Love the seventies disco sound 😊
Some 70's Jacksons album and live shows were great too.
Truth be told, i always felt Triumph was THE Off the Wall follow-up- just without the highs and the sheen of a MJ/ Quincy Jones record.
@@jayda1k_ Triumph is rather 1980, I was rather meaning the previous ones.
Triumph still has Can you feel it and Hotel which are great tunes equal to greatest MJ's.
I dare recommend hear again 'Destiny' (the tune).
@@antonmk1244that’s not what I meant. Michael leaned into songwriting even further. Him honing into his songwriting and producing capabilities led to tracks like those you mentioned. Only thing is, those little rhythmic nuances of his, like his post-thriller grit, shrieks, hiccups, and breaths are fully imagined on Triumph. Think Thriller, without the excess-paranoia.
We're in this period where Mike sounds different. It's pop, groovy, disco, MJ's interpretation and the harmonization work of Quincy Jones and his team is incredible. They start from a very nice piece to elevate it to legendary status. I can't imagine the hours they had to spend writing, playing, singing, mixing to achieve this result. Imagine if Mike didn't do The Wiz and didn't ask Quincy Jones to work together? No, I don't want to imagine. Listen Chris, I'm almost 40 years old, I'm French, I discovered MJ at 10-11 years old at the time of History, having the MTV channel I saw an entire weekend dedicated to MJ's music videos and well that I don't speak English I fell in love with this artist, he gave so much in the studio, on stage, shattered all the glass ceilings in terms of video, audio, racial, that it was impossible to miss, god bless his soul.
Michael had a crazy vocal range!
Hats off to one of the greatest bass players....Louis Johnson did a gorgeous job there .👍👑
He did
I hope you can do ‘Keep the Faith’ from the Dangerous album one of these days. That would be great!
Bruce Swedien! One of the Greatest! Jerry Hey Horns and Benjamin Wright Strings 🔥
And don't forget Quincy Jones not only has the producer but him as a musician himself being a trumpet player. He always played a huge part in the brass arrangements without taking credit for it.
Everyone involved was taken off the top shelf.
@@vaughnmiller4371Quincy’s horn sections always complimented Michael’s vocals: Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Wanna Be Starting Something, Lady In My Life and so on.
The energy that this song conveys is incredible, I just want to dance 🕺
Definitely one of my favorite MJ songs #LONGLIVETHEKING!!!
Great song, it's not enough. We want a second episode and more explanation
If you can, please do 'Heaven Can Wait'! I've always wanted to delve into the harmonies of that song!
Another amazing Michael Jackson song!
Can you do Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) by The Jacksons
Omg yes!!
My fav Jacksons song!!
Oh my goodness I have always love love loved this song. Impossible to stay down with this one. Lifted me out of many a dark time. 14.50 to the end I will play on repeat many times 😂 thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
This was so much FUN, I listened to the back end of the video a few times & I completely agree - if you don’t move listening to it, there’s got to be something wrong with you!!
Thanks for another great video Chris!!
Would love to see ‘Tabloid Junkie’ or ‘Blood On The Dancefloor’ at some point… There’s some amazing vocal layers in them ❤

I've done a full video for Blood on the Dance Floor. Check the playlist at the end of this video! :)
Nunca he visto a un artista usar su voz de la manera en q la utiliza Michael Jackson, hace cosas mágicas, de verdad se nota q da todos por su música. Igual q bailando, no se ha visto cosa igual, se transformaba en música. Era puro ritmo. No sé si es porque desde tan pequeño estuvo ya en escenarios y amaba todo esto o porque fue un elegido De Dios.
Well I never got into this song that much,all because I was born in 1980 then coming into the Thriller era then of course Bad era but when I bought the Off The Wall Special Edition CD, it literally opened my eyes and just even made my mother dance, it is one of my favorites off this album and with Louis Johnson from the Brothers Johnson.
Everything MJ touched turned to gold he was amazing!!!
Awesome, I finally get to hear the track I have been listening to since it was released in 79, in multitrack. ......What a joy! thank you. Totally Sublime!
Hi Chris ,
Think you so so much 👍👍👍
Just the king of pop 👍👍👍👍
Thank you thank you thank you! My favourite record on the album; often overlooked and criminally underrated
OFF THE WALL IS MY FAVORITE MJ ALBUM. And Get On The Floor IS MY FAVORITE SONG From The Album. I SOOOOO ENJOYED LISTENING TO THESE TRACKS!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am from Spain and please do Remember the time
YEEEAAUURUURURUURRRRRR!!!! Perfect timing!
was never a fan of MJ's music, but i really appreciate his work ethic and way his songs were crafted
I love this series! Please keep making more!
You need to get your hands on the studio recording of “you are not alone”!! My favourite song 🤗
SHIII IZ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 VERY DISCO THE KING OF EVERYTHING 🪩🕺🏽
“And dance with meee”
The track and vocals are worthy of the critical analysis. MJ could hear Louis Johnson bass line any knew how to handle it!
New MJ one!!
@chrisliepe I always wanna to hear ‘Heal the world’ as a MultiTrack from MJ. Please if you can upload it🙏
YAY!!! 🎉. Been waiting for this. ❤
Can you do “Everybody” by the Jackson’s
Top track Louis Johnson is too good
Perfect for 1978 ❤
1979

Ahhhh I was waiting for this

I would love to see Smile and Childhood if you haven't already. Thank you, this was great!!
The arranging and production on Off The Wall is my favorite compared to all of MJ’s albums!
Please do Don’t stop till you get enough ✊🏾
Comment for da algorithm
Streak count: 354
Would be great if you could do its sister song- Stomp! I’ve always wished Michael had taken it for OTW instead of Burn This Disco Out. You can probably isolate his background vocals on it.
Please react to the JACKSONS
Walk right now ❤😂🎉
Can you do Can You Feel It by The Jacksons
4:20 🔥
These vocal arrangements came from Gospel Choirs tradiction.
PLEASE CHECK OUT “I CANT HELP IT” OR “GIRLFRIEND”
Have you done a multitrack reaction on Heal the World by Michael Jackson
Woohoo!!
Wow! Amazing video is there any way yo could get this time around multitracks?
I'll ask! :)
I Would like you to break down it's the falling love by Michael Jackson and patti Austin please

This dude is getting ripped off if he’s buying these multitracks lol
I'm not buying them
@@chrisliepe thank god, I’m just saying cause there’s so many scammers online for multis it’s insane. not that you’d want to after what I said I can send you some of the other Jackson’s triumph multis that aren’t in the public yet if you want to make vids for them. Proof I have is on my channel.
Sos un capo chriss
MJ was a gift from God
He wasn't just a singer, He was music.
Not quite, Elvis was that man... everybody else just surfed his wave. 😎
@@kadiummusic I respect your opinion brother.
@@kadiummusic Elvis was the man I do agree. But understand that there were many black artists with just as much talent and stage presence just like Elvis who never had the exposure he had due to racism. Elvis was heavily influenced black culture in music
@@bigd_selectersmgYour comment is VERY honest! !
@@kadiummusicAnd SORRY MICHAEL WAS JUST A LOT MORE TALENTED THAN ELVIS!!!
♫ *TOLD YA! So get onnn the flo-a-o-a-o-a-oarrrrr...and dance with meee.* ♫
♫ *I luh-oh-uh-oh-ove the way you shake that thang, gurrrl. ESPECIALLY.* ♫
This was the Michael before the stress from the press.
Look at how FREE he was back here! The playfulness in those vocals. The sheer utter JOY he expressed!
You see him smiling through the vocal! He was just uninhibited & fully free here. He was so loose on these vocals!
I used to sleep on this song when I heard it on cassette when I was younger.
But once I heard the 2001 Off The Wall remastered reissue on CD, I woke up to the sheer greatness of Get On The Floor!
I wondered how I slept on it so long & it shot up to one of my favorite Michael songs EVER.
There's something about this song, man, It feels like you're outside at night with a group around a campfire just outside of town having this musical ritual & transcending the astral plane or something.
Everybody is communal & going into a trance in this song. You're being taken away from Earth for a little while here.
It's powerful. It underlines the spirit of Off The Wall the most I feel. Pure unadulterated FREEDOM!
When he said “whooo, ha, GET UPP” I felt that & then he said & dance with me
That baseline was always filthy from the moment I first heard it. I had to look up who Louis Johnson was and I’ve been a fan ever since.
This song is so underrated. It's fun, fun silly and free like a party is supposed to be. I get so hurt when people don't know Get on the Floor lol
This is my favourite MJ/Jacksons era.
1978. Destiny.
1979. Off The Wall.
1980. Triumph.
1982. Thriller.
I love many songs on Bad, Dangerous & HIStory but I feel there was something very special about the musical era from 1978-1983. The Victory tour & Bad Tour were amazing too.
Totally agree!
100% agreed. Off the Wall and Triumph being my favourite albums by him / the brothers incl. MJ ever. 1978 to 1982 was his greatest era in my opinion
I was having the crappiest week, too. Thank God, Chris. You and MJ really turned *that* beat around! 🔥
Thanks to your videos I have been able to see how good MJ was as a vocalist, and in that aspect he has been quite underestimated by some. There are many things that we overlook because we do not have the necessary knowledge and your analysis videos help a lot to learn about singing and MJ. This song is one of my favorites. MJ and Louis Johnson, excellent bassist, did an excellent job writing this song.
Chris, this ain't Funk music. This is *FOHNK* music! Pronounce with the LONG O like OH! Hahahahaha!
Every one of these Michael songs has these deep buried layers in the instrumental doing all KIND of stuff!
You never hear these details in the overall mix quite like this. Just so much musicality in it, it's CRAZY!
This is an early comment merely after how you expertly splice in those instrumental layers.
I'll have more to say after you get into Michael's vocals. Get On The Floor is just...GOD! Wow.
That's my song, man. *FOHNK!!!*
Can you get Morphine tracks? Very personal and unique song of MJ
One MJ's greatest vocal performances ever! Underrated song, he was at the top his game then. 😎
Incredible track. The whole album is a masterpiece 🕺
Yes
I’ve always loved hearing him harmonize with himself it’s so crazy
Yeahhh! I’ve been listening to Off The Wall a lot lately. This is great! 😊
Hey! I was in my music production/recording engineering class today, and the professor brought up a prior video of you going into the original tracks of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” to make a point about how everything doesn’t need to be perfect by showing the clip demonstrating bleed within some of the tracks. Love your stuff.
Oh this is so awesome to hear!!! Thank you for sharing that these videos are getting used in your class. That's just great!
Hey that’s my uncle Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson on rhythm guitar!! His the GOAT on this record and countless other hits!!!! Same cat in Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Car Wash, Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell, Smiling Faces, Loves Theme by Barry White and Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye!
💐🎸
🔥🔥🔥
Butterflies on the invicible album!! Absoluetly
Can you do threatened by michael jackson
YES!!!!!😊
The extra vocals were sung by Jim Gilstrap Augie Johnson Paulette McWilliams Mortonette Jenkins and Zedric Williams
Thanks for that!!!
@j.denino5732 yes
Fun fact, the bass tracks are actually two different basses! The first track Louis Johnson uses his stingray, the second one he’s using an alembic
Edit: if you listen closely to the brass track you isolated you can hear the alembic in action in the bleed
Wow. I learned something new today.
@@SkepticalTeacher yes! There’s no effects going on, just two basses. Man, you could never go wrong with Louis Johnson, the man was a wizard
Louis Johnson is the man..I love this song, not only cause it's Mike, but for the bass part as well..Off The Wall is Mike's best allbum
Hey Chris, in my earlier comment, I forgot to mention that maybe you could consider dissecting Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" song from 1976. I think it's one of the earliest and most beautiful examples of vocal stacking ever achieved. You can even find its acapella here on TH-cam.
Can you do "Will You Be There“ ?
My favorite singer, my favorite youtuber
I’m so excited to see you’re back with another MJ analysis. You do the best one. Your competence and appreciation of these tracks is nothing but a sheer joy to listen to. Can’t thank you enough. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Chris! I cannot express fully how grateful I am for you and your channel and how you do these multi-tracks for Michael Jackson. I have been a subscriber and fan for years. .To me Michael Jackson was a family member and the main reason for who I am as an artist. I have become severely depressed since his passing and it's been very difficult to get through. Your videos bring me peace and solace. And as a music fan and vocalist I truly appreciate your insight. Thank you for spreading joy and knowledge. And for helping people like myself. God bless you sir
Chris, PLEASE DO MORE MJ SONGS!! Heres a video which shows the individual stacks and layers from Get on The Floor: th-cam.com/video/f-DTdMxhK5I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MZsuCPMifp7nKv6I
Michael was able to capture the joy and every time you hear that song, it puts you right back in the 70’s!
Masterpiece by a legend!
I love this song so much! The backing vocals and the scratch vocals are amazing to hear isolated ❤
I also love how much you gear his playfulness and joy, as you said.
Thank you so much for another great video!
Michael's music is such pure gold ❤
Off the wall is a damn masterpiece. My favourite MJ album. I play this song almost every morning… Instant feel good start to the day.
MJ was music personified
4:20 Quincy jones is a beast. Beautiful.
This is the best track you've broken down! I love this song!
More Michael please❤
What a great day! Thank U for the inspiration .
MJ was a genius from marketing to whom he got to produce his albums to his own production with his brothers. The guy was just exceptional. Lord have mercy you can see how much he learned from the Apollo, the Chitlin Circuit and especially his Motown colleagues (Ross, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye), Afro Latin and African sounds. I miss the man so badly...
I agree. MJ was/is a genius. Once in a lifetime type of artist.
Get on the Floor is such a fun track!! I love his squeak at 20:26 and the way you just gloss over it lmao.
Thanks s omuch for doing these!!
Just another Great video. In my opinion that was MJ best solo album, very musical, Not to polished and Raw. If you can brake down "I can't help it" from the same album. The Great Stevie Wonder wrote it, you can hear his chords all over it. Then I would say Human Nature would be another or Lady in my life both of course from Thriller. I love the ISO tracks just shows how much it takes to build a single song and in those say it was done on 24trk and had to lock the last tracks w/TC to make them 24 tracks I know cause im 57 and was around for that area
