Michael Jackson’s legendary ‘Thriller’ album was released exactly 29 years ago on November 30th 1982 so it is only fitting for us to celebrate this global phenomenon with a special edition of Way Back Wednesday. Join us as we reflect several of the iconic videos and performances from the era that changed popular culture forever and earned Jackson the everlasting title of King of Pop.
Watch all of the action below:
‘Beat It’
‘Billie Jean’
‘Human Nature’
‘Thriller’
No other artist on planet Earth has ever accomplished what Jackson did during his lifetime. He was truly the complete package – singer, songwriter,producer, dancer, arranger and visionary – and the perfect Pop star.
Several of the younger entertainers whom have been compared to him barely possess a 10th of Jackson’s talent and have yet to put forward a record that matches the magnitude of ‘Thriller’. Indeed, those acts who have emulated his dancing definitely can’t sing his songs and those who have the ability to sing as well as dance are certainly not songwriters. The truly was only one and will always be only one King of Pop!
Watch the bonus performance of Jackson performing my personal favourite track from ‘Thriller’, ‘Wanna be Startin’ Somethin’, during his ‘Bad Tour’ in 1987 below:
‘Wanna Be Startin’ Something’”
