[@msjonezz2404]

The backround vocals are all Michael LOL. He recorded all the vocals by himself!

[@dcaseng]

I still think this is his greatest album.

[@gullyblanchard5750]

Me too. Just felt like MJ at his rawest. Lots of soul and funk it in.

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

Me too

[@cathyreed6723]

I agree!!! Quincy did his thing!!

[@levil4012]

Totally agree, “i can’t help it” is STILL my fav Michael Jackson song, melodies and vocals are STELLAR!!

[@eli-hw5gk]

I like XSCAPE

[@anumbus]

This album by many accounts is his best overall album even though "Thriller" was the bigger selling album. Sonically, this was the perfect precursor for Thriller to launch from. Off The Wall put the industry on notice that this is not kid Michael or Jackson 5 Michael. He created his lane here and hit the gas with Thriller. Side Note, Randy Jackson is the only member of the family that was allowed to contribute to this album because Michael didn't want it to sound like a Jackson album. Randy played percussion on "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" .

[@creditorclass6513]

Black Thriller!

[@toddpace4588]

@@creditorclass6513 Thriller is Black🤦🏾‍♂️

[@musiclover-ev7jn]

Fun fact: This song's groove is just a slow downed version of Heatwave's Boogie Nights.

[@anumbus]

Rod Templeton was all over this album. The Quincy, Rod and Michael Connection was pure genius.

[@kristal9619]

Woahhhhh

[@Dirtcake71]

Now that you said that, I'll never unhear Boogie Nights in the song. Lol

[@jaijones2036]

@musiclover7 Yes, and Boogie Nights is awesome too.

[@cordellsenior9935]

This is one that Heatwave's leader Johnny Wilder, Jr. turned down. It's a Heatwave song you can hear.

[@jkateilsel4492]

This song was a top ten hit in 1980, and definitely one of my top ten all time favorite MJ songs.

[@kimberly8858]

This is his best album to me. I can’t help it.

[@marksaguindel1903]

I can't help it is my favorite off this project

[@primeminister66]

@@marksaguindel1903 Indeed, might be his best song

[@francescareliford3941]

Favorite MJ album. Love Love Love this song.

[@SopranoSistah]

THEEEEE best MJ album and title track. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

[@sharmarke187]

The background vocals were all MJ but something to look out for is “I can’t help it” from this album which was written by Stevie Wonder. Once you hear it you’ll know it’s written by Stevie because it has a Stevie Wonder feel to it.

[@mr.goodenough3796]

Very underrated song from the album. Love it.

[@OpusWon]

It's everyone's favorite album and rightfully so. It's a masterpiece.

[@alohawg]

This album came out when I was in high school, fire!

[@johnneils9084]

This was most certainly the song that was always played at the clubs on Fridays when we would rush to the clubs to let off steam and catch a dream on the dance floor. Off The Wall and on the dance floor.

[@primeminister66]

This is a straight jam and mood! One of his baddest joints indeed

[@mitchellbanks34]

The background vocals are all him. There’s a video on KZbin of him stacking his voice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5rQaaCbqdSmhNE

[@gullyblanchard5750]

Thanks for sharing this bro. This was very cool.

[@fhat6924]

This has always been my favorite off this album.

[@Official_Kings_Versus]

Bassline is 🔥

[@MC-yy6qp]

This song is pure joy for me.

[@CharlesMosley129]

the reason this album has a different feel/sound is because of the album's co-producer Rod Temperton. he is English (i believe) and a killer on those keyboards. he gave this album its sound. if you look into his career of work you'll see common threads in the music his produced and wrote. and this is my second favorite song from this album. "I Can't Help It" was always be number 1.

[@TheDivayenta]

What a spectacular album! You can hear the seeds of “ Thriller” in this song.

[@teef6896]

This is my favorite MJ album.

[@richardw4336]

One of my favourite tracks from my favourite MJ Album.

[@TheFargo116]

Its just so hard to believe you never heard this ICONIC song before.....but anyways you definately hear Rod Temperton's influence on this song (member of the group Heatwave).....Off The Wall is the album that catapulted Michael from SUPERSTAR status to KING OF POP.......great reaction

[@goodnessgraciousalive7082]

A top 5 song from MJ, no doubt.

[@Niecy70]

By far one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs Love it!!💜🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@creamone]

Still my favorite album from MJ

[@cathyreed6723]

When I want to "relate, relax & release" I listen to this song!!!

[@pulsarstargrave256]

Never heard this song? It Used to get regular play on Classic R&B radio stations... if they still exist, that is!

[@Milkers777]

This my mom’s favorite MJ song of all time this song has a great message just loving freely and leave your problems behind you🙌🏽👑💖💕🔥💫(I personally believe all of MJ’s albums are masterpieces there’s no definitive answer to what’s his best album of all time we know his greatest is Thriller but his best? That’s hard to come up with I feel you should go through all his albums all the way to Invincible which was his last studio album he released in 2001 while he was alive of course also everyone has there favorite MJ album but to me there isn’t a best they’re all his best cause all of his album are so unique and are a capsule in time of where he was at that moment)

[@johnslaymark8225]

you boogie to this all day and as a D J fills any dance floor every time and still sounds great

[@teediddy1338]

This is the album that separated him from the rest. MJ was bad. Lol

[@carolynross7959]

Whole album was awesome. One of the first albums I bought when I got my first job in high school. Thanks for the selection to Mother Popcorn.

[@caseybrown6848]

my fam had the 8 track and they wore it out,thx 4 the shout out

[@Shyamanic]

One of the best albums ever, along with thriller

[@Shyamanic]

That he did

[@ericdennis3899]

Wow Can't Believe You Never Heard This 😁😁 Bro The Vocal Arrangements On Off The Wall Is Crazy It's One Of Best songs Vocally recorded he did all the vocals 🔥🔥🔥 written by the Great Rod Temperton From Heatwave off the wall is a Huuuuuuuge favorite among Mj Fans all over the world 💯💯💯

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Iconic musical Genius Mr Quincy Jones

[@ccth22]

I believe it was his greatest album. Thriller of course was driven by a new phenomenon called “MTV” and took on a pop culture life of its own. What fascinates me about “Off The Wall” is you can hear the influence from his time spent living in NYC with Diana Ross while filming the Wiz. He hung out at Studio 54 and enjoyed the pulsating 24/7 atmosphere of the Big Apple. Definitely reflected in this album…

[@kimberlypage5285]

My fave on this album. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

[@cordellsenior9935]

Like Marvin, Stevie, Chaka, he did all his own studio background vocals.

[@brickjones3831]

There is such a Massive debate especially along racial lines n america on thats MJ's best album where Black folks say Off The Wall where white folks argue that it ix Thriller ( where in most honesty it was there first major dose of Him. Ironically I was jut going record shopping herein Brazil where I was going to by the Brazilian copy of Off The wall ( which I may-go back to the Pelurhino and do such) I did notice the racil difference at a big celebration for his Birthday in Prospect Park thrown by Spike lee. Black folks were losing and getting into songs from the Off the wall lbum and the Jacksons Album where non Black folks were standing around dumbfounded till things like Thriller and beyond as beingplayed . very interesting paradigm. but I am team OFF THE WALL all day err day

[@gregoryburton1241]

You can hear the Heat Wave groove on this song. The late great song writer, Rod Temperton from the group, Heat Wave, was a contributing writer on this song. Great album! RiP Michael and Rod

[@894359]

My favorite MJ album!

[@TheJunebug65]

MJ did all the background vocals on this cut

[@bikeanddogtrips]

After Billie Jean, this is my favourite MJ song of all time. The off the wall album is my favourite album though

[@moniquethompson7221]

This album and thriller is his best albums to me.

[@Hippychic723]

I just fell off the couch! Keep it up! Love to dance! Peace Out ✌️

[@spitnificent]

The singular background vocals that stood out were of his older brother Marlon.

[@theenemyspublic681]

The great Rod Temperton wrote this song and Thriller also. Earth Wind and Fire turned this down. Stevie Wonder wrote on this album and Thriller also. He wrote I can't help it.

[@onespeed4ever901]

My cousin thought he was M J back then Lol He had the glove jacket and some leather pants 😂😂😂

[@dalee72]

I think it was MJ's own background vocals for this song.

[@lamusiclover2264]

He's doing his own background vocals mostly, especially the falsettos.

[@erriqueyoung]

I was in the 9th grade when this album came out, I'm 56 years old today and this off the wall song is my most favorite song from Michael Jackson

[@blackbutterfly638]

Every song on this album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@My-by]

The studio band used for this song and most of this album is RUFUS from Rufus and Chaka kan

[@karimamlal9524]

Michael jackson the king of the pop

[@wobblertv8083]

He was still part of the soul community back then .Great album with some killer grooves .

[@sooankim9247]

This is my ALL-TIME favorite MJ album! Between the clubs and roller rink in 1979-80 this was on repeat! #justjammin

[@billpemberton7207]

My favorite album from him

[@My-by]

This is his best album ever!”

[@kevbrown341]

Hi JJ, Not if Stevie was on the track, but he was definitely in the building! This song is so fun! happy hour, straight to the dance floor. Peace!

[@blobeyez]

This was a tester for Thriller, and it worked 👍👍👍

[@paulgreen6921]

The phrasing and harmonic progressions presage “Thriller?” PWG

[@injailoutsoon1998]

My fucking jam!!!

[@cinbunner]

MJ IS FOREVER THE KING!!❤️❤️

[@rogerhunt3984]

best song and best album of mj

[@Grandmastergav86]

Love MJ but I think this was his best solo album, this track is amazing.

[@garymccool9985]

Now knowing Michaels and all the motels crew he may or may not have had Stevie Wonder on there or on background but I don't think so but Stevie did write a song for Michael on that album and the song was I can't help it.

[@LhordShepherd]

This song is just too cool for evening ♥️

[@headedsomewhere]

This is my favorite MJ, and I was fortunate in finding it on vinyl for $3 about 3 months before he passed. My Son wanted me to sell it and my Thriller vinyl, I found for $1, not remastered but are originals, so I could have financed a trip BUT no way, and STILL have them ;0

[@willthomas2310]

It's a solid album! Definitely a classic. I've notice tho, that the usual group of individuals... that say this is his best album. Are 60's & 70's babies

[@michaelprice3992]

This is one of MJ’s best cut....I remember my dad first time playing this at a party at the house and the whole house went crazy! GREAT album arguably better than Thriller.

[@annother3350]

Some Stevie Wonder Zeitgeist in this one

[@annother3350]

This was the dancefloor smash in the UK. I was too young but i remember my older cousin started going to clubs with the black trousers and white socks after this came out.

[@yesdex5996]

Dope he is the king

[@Niecy70]

Oh my gosh I'm kind of sad that you didn't like this song more than I thought you would😔 such a great song

[@kencody4287]

A classic great song a lot of memories great times !

[@kennewton7518]

That is Luther Vandross on the background vocals among others.

[@michaelprice3992]

JJ....MJ did the lead and background vocals. Written by one of the greatest songwriters ever Rod Temperton....look up his song writing credits....RIDICULOUS!

[@petemarshy1677]

Winner

[@teamjay20]

So all the vocals are mj no back up singers dude was a genius

[@Nonchalant_248]

I believe this is all Michael on vocals JJ. They have his voice duplicated.

[@Milkers777]

You mean Layered not duplicated but I got what you meant lol 😆

[@sassafrazz4480]

Soundtrack of my elementary school days! LOL! You gotta check out "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" from this album too!

[@telliesmith9825]

Off the wall his best album for me luv it

[@yousexymf]

This song was written by Heatwave's writer Rod Temperton

[@caseybrown6848]

I love John Robinson drums on this LP!

[@ninabirdsong9910]

That Off The Wall was way better than Thriller..

[@ivanvladimirovic2972]

Hey bro- "Sunset driver" unreleased demo is my suggestion.Cheers!Love listening music with you brother!

[@samestuffdifferentday5712]

Quincy Jones is a master producer

[@yesdex5996]

Another old skool party song

[@hottz115]

Off the wall > Thiller !

[@creditorclass6513]

The awards shows (1981) traumatized Michael and he realized the industry had reinstated Jim Crow after the disco scare. Thriller was calibrated to smash that ceiling once and for all.

[@carriec9719]

Taking me back to Jr High!

[@Same_Ole_Soup_Just_Reheated]

Never outta rotation

[@darksharxz]

Check out I Can’t Help It, written by Stevie Wonder and one of my Favorites from Mike✊🏿

[@ggsworld8762]

Agreed. I think 2nd best behind Thriller👌🏽

[@gabrielqueteimportante8499]

You’ll get in a debate with that topic lol

[@mrsbullrhinerhine734]

💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@michaeltamares7974]

This his best album.. you hear this more in the clubs than thriller album. I would've prefer MJ to be king of r and b than pop.

[@ese_guey_pompom2406]

You should react to we've had enough by Michael Jackson and just listen to the song you'll really enjoy it

[@dorenaepps4625]

Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder are cousins!

[@wayanas]

No Jermaine, no Stevie, only Michael

[@anthonyperkins9148]

Zero autotune, take notes

[@sooutrageous007]

Hail the great Rod Temperton.
