Michael Jackson: Thriller Era
built 645 days ago
Michael and his date then walk down a foggy street, and he teases her with the opening verses of "Thriller". They pass a possessed graveyard, where corpses suddenly begin to rise from their graves, as Vincent Price performs his rap. Michael and his date then find themselves surrounded by the zombies, and suddenly, Michael becomes a zombie himself. Michael and the undead perform an elaborate song and dance number together, followed by the chorus of 'Thriller'(in which Michael is changed back into human form), frightening his girlfriend to the point where she runs for cover.

Rumor has it that Michael Jackson would be making a comeback to showbiz on Sunday’s Grammy Awards. Justin Timberlake might be opening the show by singing along with a tape of Frank Sinatra. Then Michael would follow up by singing one of his hits from Thriller. He was known to be rehearsing in a studio in California recently.

Jackson's next album, Thriller, was a quantum leap for him both creatively and commercially. Produced by Jones, the recording spanned a number of pop genres—cannily enlisting rock guitar idol Eddie Van Halen to play a solo on "Beat It," for example, guaranteed access to listeners Jackson might not otherwise have reached—and fired a record-setting seven Top 10 singles up the charts, notably the title track, a duet with Paul McCartney titled “The Girl Is Mine,” the insinuating "Billie Jean," and the raucous "Beat It." The state-of-the-art videos that accompanied these singles, meanwhile, coincided with the sudden dominance of Music Television (MTV); Jackson's distinctive "Moonwalk" and overall visual panache (combined with brilliant choreography and lavish special effects) won him an even vaster audience. Thriller went on to become the bestselling album of all time and garnered an unprecedented eight Grammy Awards; Jackson ... snagged a Grammy for his participation in the E.T.: The Extraterrestrial soundtrack album.

While his latest album, ''Thriller,'' was selling better than any long- playing record ever made by a single performer, he ... was breaking through the racially segregated programming policies of many radio and television stations.
