Michael Jackson 'Off The Wall' CD

Michael Jackson set a milestone in the history of pop with 'Off The Wall' and, at the age of just 20, already demonstrated his extra class as a musician and creative visionary. With this album, he surpassed all existing sales records for African-American musicians at the time and was able to set unprecedented records in terms of airplay, chart performance and sales figures with his crossover of R&B and pop. For Rolling Stone, it was clear that Michael Jackson had invented "modern pop music as we know it" thanks to 'Off The Wall'.

Above all, however, Michael Jackson had created a work whose perfect symbiosis of entertainment and great songwriting served as a shining example for his fellow black musicians. Back then, at the end of the 1970s, they were still fighting for the social recognition they deserved, and the success of 'Off The Wall' gave them the necessary self-confidence that fueled many great careers.
