Michael Jackson Thriller: The Person. The Music

By Jon Moreno

When you hear these three words Michael Jackson Thriller what comes to mind? I am sure a lot of things come to mind, after all everyone knows all about Michael Jackson and his song Thriller.

Thriller is a lot like off the wall because it explores some of the same kind of music like R&B and pop. The production of thriller was one of the most exciting albums that Jackson ever put out and as of two thousand and seven it has sold a whopping sixty five million copies, just in that year.

As a result of his fathers affair and child Jackson grew deeply depressed in this time. He was stated as saying he was lonely and that all he did was sit in his room and cry. He confided in one of his friends that he wanted to be the biggest and the richest singer in the world.

In the rolling stone magazine which was put out in two thousand and three, Thriller was ranked number twenty out of the five hundred greatest albums of all time. Thriller was number three out of two hundred by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers.

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.

Unlike many artists, Jackson did not write his songs on paper and when he recorded he simply remembered these songs in his mind. Jones also told Jackson that thriller would not make it and be as successful as Off the wall, but Jackson went ahead and put it on the album anyways. It is a good thing he did because if he did not we would not have this wonderful song that so many people love. - 18780
