Michael Jackson Thriller: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
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.
This song has become even more popular since Jackson's death in two thousand nine. Thriller is the sixth album that was released by Michael Jackson. And it quickly became my favorite the first time I ever heard it. I also love to watch the music video because it is a very interesting dance that Jackson and his crew do in it.
Thriller made Jackson one of the most famous people in the twentieth century and this allowed him to break some barriers of racial people. Some of the reasons he was able to break the racial barrier that people held was because of his meeting with Ronald Regan at the White house. This album and song was one of the first to make famous the Use of Music videos to promote songs.
In nineteen eighty Jackson asked Rolling stone to do a magazine cover for his album "Off the wall" and rolling stone declined which made Jackson upset. He stated that rolling stone told him that black people on the front of magazine covers do not sell well. And Jackson said "just wait, some day the magazines would be begging me for an interview".
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. - 2361
