It's actually better than Thriller based on the music by itself. Thriller is massive because of the videos. Content wise , Off the Wall is better.

[@1980Triumph]

Quincy pointed out a fact that is always overshadowed by the success of Thriller, that Off The Wall was massive in terms of sale and impact and was the biggest selling album by a black artist, which means MJ at 21 had outsold all the popular groups at the time EWF, Parliament, Teddy P, Kool and the Gang, he outsold them all.

[@zedlacredit]

Off the Wall, didn't sell big until after Thriller was released. It never top the charts anywhere in the world (except for the R & B charts in the US - which is not the same as topping the pop charts). It was also not nominated for Album of the Year at the AMA ( in which the nominees are based on sales), Donna Summer's Bad Girls was nominated though, she did sell over 4 million.

The sad thing is that Quincy has recently claimed Mike used to “steal” a lot of stuff like the bass line for Billie Jean and pieces of other songs too when he has always praised him and the work they’ve done together. He probably never said a word of this to MJ’s face, what an hypocrite. Btw MJ never stole anything, for Billie Jean, he got inspired by the bass line of “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” by Hall & Oates and he also admitted it. But you can hardly notice it and the two songs are totally different in the end. In fact he produced some of the most unique and best songs of all time and it became one of his most famous singles for a reason.

[@scottbrandts610]

And from a different angle, Madonna very obviously took inspiration from BILLIE JEAN for PAPA DON'T PREACH. Very similar chords, melody, structure and themes.

[@scottbrandts610]

@M T Yeah, that one too. The opening bars are almost identical to the bass riff on BILLIE JEAN. But it can soooooo be heard in PAPA DON'T PREACH.

[@jokerwildest]

The truth is that Off The Wall, wasn't that huge...the album started to sell again after Thriller was released and exploded in 1982. Off the Wall wasn't nominated for album of the year at the 1980 AMA awards (which are based on sales- top selling albums), Bad Girls was. The color barrier was kicked all to hell by Donna Summer....she was the first female artist do dominate the Billboard Charts and pop music's first female mega star. She cross into multiple genres and sold millions of records worldwide. Mary J. Blige & Lenny Kravitz refer to her as '"the game changer". She was billboard top hot 100 act, from 1976-82 (pre mtv era) with 12 top 10's (10 top 5s). She was the first female to have #1 single and #1 album simultaneously in the modern era,(3 times in 8 months), the first to have 2 songs in the top 3 (twice in 4 months), the first to be on top of 3 major charts, at the same time. The first to have 3 # 1 singles, and 5 top 10s and/or 5 top 5s, in a calendar year (1979). She took 3 multi-platinum double album to the top of the charts in a 14 month period. Sold 20 million plus albums and 15 million singles ( 10 gold (1mil +), 2 platinum (2 mil +), 1 gold maxi-single) in the US at the end of the 70s. She is under certified by the RIAA because they didn't start multi-platinum certifications until the fall of 1984, and her catalog has never had it's certifications updated. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame named her Diva De Tutte Dive....the first true diva of the modern pop era.

Quincy was hurt when Michael dropped him after Bad and hired T Riley. Whether or not Michael actually said it, Quincy heard that Michael told Teddy that Quincy was "out of touch with where music was headed" and he needed someone who knew today's industry. Quincy took that very personal. Quincy heard Michael was making a record and said Michael started avoiding him when they ended up at places together. He assumed Michael was uncomfortable and feared confrontation. The friendship started to cool

8mycrab Wrong. Michael was told by Tommy Mottolla who was running Sony that he couldn’t use him because he was an asshole.

[@maharaz888]

Whats does he say at 01:45? I can't grasp it. What did MJ say to him?

[@emmanueliyer6605]

Socrates

[@highlife899]

i think that was ment to be a complement..he does look young for a 76 year old. thats a good thing.

[@RacharioZackariah]

I'm a huge fan quincy jones. I'd work for Motown.

[@anaystsa7144]

Michale Jackson was father of all musicians

[@daniellastuart3145]

what Instrument did Michael play for you to make the statement , yes he a great performer., one of the best but musician i don't think so ,

[@Unseenone445]

Daniella Stuart go watch this is it he knows his instruments

[@daniellastuart3145]

So he new what he wanted on the album a lot of Artist now there instruments still dose not make them musician and dose not makes Ana statement factually true.

[@adrian72300]

Daniella...when you see Ana doesn't know how to spell Michael you should know who you dealing with

[@HazelAmarie]

Daniella Stuart Stfu anyone who WRITES, COMPOSES, and ARRANGES music is an musician playing a damn inatrument does not equate to being a musician it only makes you an instrumentalist. MJ composed songs coming out of his head and would dictate them by using his mouth...His demos explain how he came up with HIS songs...MJ was a genius songwriter and musician which is why he sits in the songwriters hall of fame. Research what a MUSICIAN is before you post BS.

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

How do you know how Mr.Socrates pronounced it?

[@chuckfrost5624]

When Micheal Jackson was Sued by some guys who said he stole their songs, Jackson won the case because the judge was tone deaf which means he could not recognize one song from another. This saved Micheal's but.

[@80sfeels]

freakin mercenary 🐍

[@Blackjesus3]

sammys house? does he mean sammy davis

[@temesgenteshim4994]

Michael was a mega star before Quincy. Quincy was not a famous pop producer before Michael. He produced after working with Michael but no big success after that. So what does that say.

[@amaliacocolos214]

GOD BLESS YOU SIR! ❤️

[@quincyjones9481]

God bless you too

[@LO-qh9qs]

Sometimes the truth is the truth and doesn't mean he is bashing him. But their is 2 sided to every story and Michael hasn't got the chance to respond. I wish he were here.

[@newworldorder5513]

Pure genius...and together with MJ???well the rest is history.

[@thomasballog7853]

[@illzlogik]

@kapalpha Damn I never looked at it that way but I think you're damn right.

[@FierySpiritMaury]

Yessss underestimate me and my drive skyrockets

[@globalrei]

People still worship himmmmmm facttttttttt

[@tommythomas3284]

It is so sad that when people gets overwhelming popular you can't say the negative side of them, these famous people have bad faults, many of the things Quincy speak of Michael are with out prejudice, just happens to be what this guy is, popular people are not within out fault

[@77Karolina]

could you please put the english subtitles?:(

[@7beers]

Who's the interviewer? Robin Quivers?

[@allamark3]

right on

[@queenandthebeatles1]

What happened between 2pac and Quincy?

[@Imkicelee]

If it wasn’t for Quincy, then Michael Jackson would’ve been known to us as ‘that cute little boy from the Jackson 5’. Rather than ‘that pop icon who raised and broke the bar.’

[@BGizzle8098]

And if if was a fifth we would all be drunk.

[@NNAATTYY1974]

the she's out of ly life girl was taium O'Neil because she said ghat theybused to spéd a lot of tile together and she didn't cole to see hil perform 'the wizz' . Tatum O Neil father thought the MJ wasn't a big star enought and he never talked to her again. That' s the 'pride that he is talking about in this song.

[@pokernaze1256]

Wrong.The song was written by Tom Bahler and it's about him and his girlfriend at the time.
