This album was originally released in late 1991 and was of course the long-awaited follow-up to 1987’s “Bad” album. By this stage, Michael had done away his usual producer, legendary jazz musician Quincy Jones and replaced him with a then 22 year old fella by the name of Teddy Reily. Those of you up on [...]

Thriller – Michael Jackson

Even though his fourth album “Off The Wall” still managed to become a worldwide success, Michael Jackson was simply not content with the fact that it failed to become a humungous, worldwide smash. As a matter of fact, it has even been reported that when he didn’t receive a whole slew Grammy Award for all [...]

On Wednesday October 7th 2009, an Australian variety show, which I watched religiously as a child called “Hey Hey It’s Saturday” aired their second reunion special. Both episodes were aired after the show was taken off the air in 1999. One of the segments in the show is a mock talent show called “Red Faces,” [...]

In 1995, Michael Jackson released his first ever Greatest Hits package, which was a double disc set comprising of all of the old favourites and another separate disc of mostly new recordings. To coincide with the album was a video cassette, which I personally dubbed from a friend of mine who lived around the corner [...]

Words cannot describe the overall shock, disbelief and yes, the odd tinge of sadness that I was feeling when I was informed that the King of Pop had passed away on Thursday June 25th, 2009. In fact, for the longest time, I was quite speechless. Although he was a big star from quite an early [...]

In 1995 Michael Jackson released a double disc set called “HIStory.” The first disc featured all of his hits – everything from “Billie Jean” to “Bad” to “Thriller” to “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” and everything else in between like “She’s Out Of My Life.” Disc Two had fifteen more songs, most of which [...]

Michael Jackson’s difficult third album for Epic Records was of course the long-awaited follow up to the monster success (no pun intended) that was “Thriller.” Issued in 1987, the album bore at least eight different singles out of the entire ten songs that were featured on the original LP and cassette. It was with this [...]
Off The Wall – Michael Jackson

Although this was actually Michael’s fifth album around the time it was released in 1979, it was only his first one for Epic Records, the company whom The Jacksons aligned themselves with after a rather lengthy run with Motown. “Off The Wall” was the first time a much more adult – and certainly a much [...]
