I think we need to mention on more person to the success of Jackson's best albums, and that's Bruce Swedien (which of course brings us back to Quincy Jones I guess! :p) Good writing and spot on!

But it <i>is</i> a bit hard to imagine his being catapulted into the superstar stratosphere without Quincy's brilliant production and the <i>sound</i> of "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" "Rock With You," and, of course, "Thriller" and "Billie Jean." Course i grew up with Michael as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, wearing out a vinyl 45 of "I Want You Back" as a little kid. And I was a jazz snob during the <i>Off The Wall</i> -> <i>Bad</i> years. But, having grown up with a household full of Quincy Jones' own '70s albums, I couldn't get enough (and didn't stop) as Michael & Quincy made history. r.i.p. MJ very well done. thanks for sharing this.
