| | Michael Jackson Thriller CD Michael Jackson Discography of CDs
 (31 Customer Reviews)
The finest example of perfect disco pop, and a record that should be prescribed to musical snobs and manic depressives. The album is a true ambassador of what pop music can be. Jackson whoops and dances through a suite of unforgettable melodies that should be danced to with a smile on your face. Each track offers at least one musical hook, whether it is the beauty of 'Human Nature' (who can resist the 'dada dada da da da') or the 'whoo whoo' of 'Billie Jean'. It's all too good.
Principally recorded at Westlake Audio, Los Angeles, California.

As the lead singer of the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson had already been labeled a legend at a young age; but OFF THE WALL introduced the world to the adult Michael Jackson, and proved that he was still very much worthy of that label. It was the real beginning for Michael as a solo artist, and opened the doors for his next album THRILLER, which would become the greatest selling album of all time and help foist upon a Jackson a new title: King Of Pop.

Principally recorded at Record One Studios & Larrabee Studios, Los Angeles, California. Originally released on Epic/Sony (45400).
Digitally remastered by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering, Los Angeles, California).
After a lengthy gap of nearly five years, Jackson had to pull something out of the bag. BAD was, after all, a difficult act to follow, and the press were trying to prove he was bonkers. This was a pretty decent attempt and fell in with the hard dance beat of the early 90s. "Heal The World" was much like the old melodic Jackson, and it became a major hit. "Black Or White" was the best of the rest, a well-constructed song in which he attempted to repeat "Ebony And Ivory" in the context of 90s dance music.

"You Rock My World" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
The question for a 42-year-old Michael Jackson heading towards the end of 2001 was whether or not the self-proclaimed King Of Pop could make his presence known on the charts after having spent much of the '90s laying low. If the chart-topping position achieved by INVINCIBLE is any indication, then the answer is a resounding yes. The album is primarily produced by Jersey wunderkind ...

Tony Hooper was born and raised in Northeast Mississippi. Being a ministers son, he grew up in church. Music was a big part of the Hooper family. Tony started playing guitar around age 7, and writing songs at 12. Tony started his own contemporary christian band in high school called "Heart and Soul." The band did one recording which helped launch Tony's ministry. Moving to Red Bay, Al in 1988, Tony teamed up with Lindell Cooley, who mentored him in the area of modern worship. Tony lived in the church basement for 7 years, and became the music minister at Calvary Temple when Lindell moved on. During this time Tony recorded two more projects, "The Shepherds Field" in 1992 and "Month of Sundays" in 1996. "Month of Sundays" earned Tony a place on the Country Christian Charts with the song "One God." 1996 was an awesome year! Tony married his wife, Alicia, and to date they have two children, Madison and Olivia. Tony is an ordained minister, licensed by World Missionary Evangelism, a missions organization dedicated to taking the gospel around the world. Tony's travels include: Italy, Israel, France, Ukraine, Mexico, and all over the US. A missions trip to Italy with Rock Christian Artist, Rick Cua, landed Tony a life long friend, mentor and a spot in the band. Tony has traveled extensively with Rick and recorded two projects, "Like a Cool Drink" and "Won't Fade Away." In 1997 Tony and Alicia moved to Winfield, Al to become the music pastors at Faith Fellowship Church. They spent 5 years in Winfield ...
