After watching the Thriller 40th Anniversary documentary on Paramount+ Kerry-Ann and discuss the legacy of Michael Jackson's classic, ground breaking album and its deep resonance within our lives and the intersection of Jamaican culture. We recall our first encounters with the "Thriller" album and its timeless tracks, sharing anecdotes that affirm Jackson's unparalleled influence on music lovers worldwide, including stories of family dance-offs that showcase his universal appeal.
Navigating the genius behind Jackson's strategic artistry, we uncover the careful craftsmanship of "Thriller," from the savvy acquisition of his masters to the meticulous sequence of its hit songs. Kerry and I are amazed at layers of Jackson's vocal prowess and celebrate his forethought in collaborations and branding, marking the blueprint for future music moguls. We examine how this album set a precedent for artists like Beyoncé, Usher, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake transforming the live concert experience and raising the bar for music production.
Then we delve into the world of music videos, where Jackson reigned supreme. His dedication to the narrative form, eye-popping wardrobe choices, and revolutionary dance moves didn't just entertain; they laid the groundwork for artists to express their multifaceted creativity, influencing generations to come—including his sister Janet and today's TikTok trends. As we wrap up, we're taking a moment to contrast the enduring impacts of Michael Jackson and Bob Marley, sharing personal memories and beloved tracks that continue to reverberate decades later, legitimizing G.O.A.T status.
