1981/82 | Michael Jackson's Year In Review | the detail.

[@mocancer8485]

These were Michael's best years as he was still fresh and superstar strong with his brothers then went solo which gave way to the MICHAEL JACKSON we have all come to know..OFF THE WALL was more 21 yr old independent adult looking to show the world with a new record label, EPIC this is the new adult me not the MOTOWN young solo me. THRILLER really took Michael to orbit and had his family looking up to him..having a Jackson last name around this time was cool..it was Michaelmania I remember it very well..3D master with thriller flicks, the doll, the awards with the military outfits, 8 grammys, pepsicommercial, Victory Tour..

Yes, during this time he had a perfect amount of fame. Still extremely successful and the nr. 1 male entertainer, but enough to lead a private life, make normal experiences & didn’t threaten the higher powers.

That always happens in the world, when someone gets/getting too high there will be some people in the shadows who are troubled thurst for fame thinking he is the suspect..

A heart hitter is when Marvin Gaye's father apparently had to take Marvin's life. . . My oldest brother said when Tammy Terrell passed away Marvin was never the same. I believe , Marvin somewhat, messed up in the mind took it's toll, causing his Dad to have to kill him. Anyways ; I could be wrong,but all is my opinion. .
