      ​@@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!

    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.

  • @ccth22
    @ccth22 ปีที่แล้ว +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”.

  • @zanohoriamazo1
    @zanohoriamazo1 ปีที่แล้ว +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 TH-cam would do well to familiarize themself with. Anyway, director Spike Lee did a documentary that can be found on TH-cam 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.

    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'm a year late to this reaction. I didn't hear Off The Wall on the radio. Apparently it was released in the UK as a single. I discovered Off The Wall from the album, or maybe it was a 45 b-side to Rock With You or Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough. I used to buy 45's more than albums unless the album had at least 3 hit songs.

    This album preceeded THRILLER and sold very well. You want something more robust listen to WORKING DAY AND NIGHT. For more pop music there is ROCK WITH YOU.
    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

    This was his first solo album. You gotta check out a song called Dancing Machine when he was with the Jackson 5. He invented a dance called robot which evolved into pop and lock. You gotta see that video. Michael kills it.

    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.

    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.
