Michael Jackson's Journey From Motown To Off The Wall - 01:33:23
Off The Wall (с англ. — «Чуждый условностям») — пятый студийный альбом Майкла Джексона, и первый, принёсший музыканту всемирную известность. Релиз альбома состоялся 10 августа 1979 года на Epic Records. Незадолго до издания альбома Джексон был удостоен положительных отзывов кинокритиков за роль в фильме «Виз». Участвуя в съёмках фильма, Майкл Джексон и Куинси Джонс стали друзьями, и Джонс согласился работать с Джексоном над его следующим студийным альбомом. Запись альбома велась между декабрём 1978 года и июнем 1979 года в студиях Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios и Cherokee Studios в Лос-Анджелесе (штат Калифорния). Джексон во время работы над этим альбомом сотрудничал со многими другими авторами и исполнителями, такими как Пол Маккартни, Стиви Уандер и Род Темпертон. Майкл сам написал несколько песен, включая сингл «Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough».
Альбом получился совсем не похожим на предыдущие работы Майкла в Motown. Критики заметили, что Off the Wall включает в себя такие музыкальные стили как фанк, диско, соул, софт-рок, джаз и баллада. Вокал Майкла был очень высоко оценён. Альбом принёс певцу его первую премию «Грэмми». С Off the Wall Джексон стал первым сольным артистом, у которого четыре одиночных сингла от одного альбома входили в лучшую десятку чарта Billboard Hot 100. Альбом имел большой коммерческий успех.
16 октября 2001 года специальное переиздание альбома Off the Wall было выпущено Sony Records. Рецензии Allmusic и Blender продолжили хвалить «Off the Wall», отмечая популярность альбома в XXI веке. В 2003 году альбом занял 68 строчку в списке «500 величайших альбомов всех времён по версии журнала Rolling Stone». Национальная Ассоциация Звукозаписи поставила этот альбом на 80 место в списке «200 самых значимых музыкальных альбомов всех времён и народов». В 2008 году Off the Wall был включён в «Зал славы Грэмми».
Специальное эксклюзивное лимитированное ремастированное переиздание в бокс-сете, включающего компакт-диск с оригинальным альбомом и Blu-Ray Video диск с фильмом "Michael Jackson's Journey From Motown To Off The Wall" выдающегося американского режиссера Спайка Ли о создании легендарного великого альбома Майкла Джексона "Off The Wall".

Американский певец Michael Jackson родился в 1958 и умер в 2009 году. Считается самым успешным певцом в истории США, всего было продано 260 миллионов копий его пластинок. В активе музыканта сотни призов и наград, в том числе 15 премий Грэмми, а также его имя 13 раз попадало в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса. После своей смерти в 2009 году, Michael Jackson был официально признан Иконой Музыки и Легендой Америки.
За время своей экстраординарной карьеры Майкл Джексон продал свыше миллиарда релизов по всему миру, выпустил 13 синглов номер один и стал одним из немногих артистов, дважды внесенных в Зал славы рок-н-ролла. Книга рекордов Гиннеса определяет Майкла Джексона не иначе как «Самый успешный артист всех времен». В случае артиста, чье наследие вдохновило несколько поколений любителей музыки и чьи альбомы становятся мультиплатиновыми даже после его ухода из жизни, даже такого громкого определения может быть недостаточно.

В активе музыканта сотни призов и наград, в том числе 15 премий Грэмми, а также его имя 13 раз попадало в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса. После своей смерти в 2009 году, Michael Jackson был официально признан Иконой Музыки и Легендой Америки.
За время своей экстраординарной карьеры Майкл Джексон продал свыше миллиарда релизов по всему миру, выпустил 13 синглов номер один и стал одним из немногих артистов, дважды внесенных в Зал славы рок-н-ролла. Книга рекордов Гиннеса определяет Майкла Джексона не иначе как «Самый успешный артист всех времен». В случае артиста, чье наследие вдохновило несколько поколений любителей музыки и чьи альбомы становятся мультиплатиновыми даже после его ухода из жизни, даже такого громкого определения может быть недостаточно.
