Happy 40th Anniversary month to “Thriller!” An absolutely one-of-a-kind album, for an absolutely one-of-a-kind artist. Like everyone else, I always go into the studio to make a #1 record, but anyone who tells you that they knew a record was going to be a big hit is lyin’! “Off the Wall” set the bar pretty high, but what came next with “Thriller,” I don’t think any of us were ready for...I always say you have to leave space for God to walk into the room, & man did he/she ever. Michael, the music & MTV all took it to the stratosphere. Musically, we knew we had “it” with “Thriller,” & to this day, it’s an honor to hear artists trying to replicate its sonic power. It’s no accident that more than 4 decades later, no matter where I go in the world, in every club, like clockwork at the witching hour you hear “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” “Wanna Be Starting Something,” & “Thriller.” In every language from prison yards in Thailand to Thrilltheworld.com, “Thriller” is still giving people “goosebumps.” I’ll forever cherish everyone involved in the making of this album, & for all-a-y’awl for continuing to rock with the music we made, 40 years later! #Thriller #Thriller40thAnniversary
