A fast rise to number one on the charts!
The album Thriller was released on November 30. 1982, and sold more than one million copies per week and currently remains the best selling album of all time.
Besides winning 8 Grammy Awards, Thriller cemented Jackson’s status as one of the biggest pop stars of the late 20th century, enabling him to break down racial barriers and gave the musical industry a new direction.
It would’ve been interesting to see where his latest This is It comeback tour would have taken him. We’ll never know. Michael Jackson….gone too fast.
This is it movie opening on October 28, 2009, for two weeks only. Link: HERE
Oh wow! What a fantastic illustration!! Absolutely “Thrilling!”
This makes me laugh, especially since the two male characters look ‘frighteningly’ like a couple of our friends, now aging amateur rock ‘stars’. They really are lovely.
Wow! This is great…. I’ll never forget when this video came out.
