The release of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' wasn't what fans expected with its lead single, 'The Girl Is Mine'. A middle-of-road almost cheesy ballad with an ex-Beatle, many were underwhelmed fearing Jackson had lost his edge and that his new LP will be a disappointing follow up to his 1979 smash, 'Off The Wall'. That was in till they heard the album's title track, 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin''.
Welcome to ‘Thriller Forever’, a video series chronicling every detail in the construction, release and lasting impact of Michael Jackson’s musical juggernaut. From the good, the incredible, the bad and downright ugly.
