The Day Michael Jackson Changed Music Forever

Michael Jackson’s Thriller didn’t just become the best-selling album of all time — it saved the music industry, revolutionised music videos, and invented the modern blockbuster album. In this documentary, we explore how Michael Jackson went from the success of Off The Wall to creating the most influential pop album ever made with Quincy Jones, Eddie Van Halen, Paul McCartney and Vincent Price. Discover how Billie Jean, Beat It, and Thriller changed MTV forever, broke racial barriers in music television, and turned Michael Jackson into the undisputed King of Pop. From the 1982 recession and collapsing record sales to the legendary Motown 25 moonwalk, this is the true story of how Thriller changed music forever. If you love music history, classic pop, 80s music, rock documentaries, and artists like Prince, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and The Weeknd, this is the story you need to know. #MichaelJackson #Thriller #MusicHistory #KingOfPop #80sMusic #PopHistory #MusicDocumentary #RockHistory #BillieJean #QuincyJones I'm Noah, and I dive deep into the stories behind the greatest rock n roll music ever made.
