The shadow cast by Michael Jackson’s bizarre personal life and legal troubles may have eclipsed most of his career but it still could not blot out the shining triumph of his song and music video ‘Thriller.’
The surprise blockbuster single, video and album not only drove album sales to record heights but the music video, directed by John Landis, paved a new path for the recording industry. Lavish music videos became a must for every single that wanted to earn a spot on the top of the charts or a place in pop culture’s pantheon. The success of the album and video even created new opportunities for African-American musicians, getting their videos played on MTV and opening doors that were still closed off due to misguided bigotry that permeated the recording industry. As the iconic album reaches its 30th anniversary, let’s take a look back at the scary good song that transformed pop music overnight the way a full moon transforms an ordinary man into a snarling werewolf.
