The label worked with popular acts like *Bobby Vinton*, *Sly and the Family Stone*, *The Dave Clark Five*, and *Donovan*. Throughout the 1970s, Epic's success continued to grow with artists like *The Hollies*, *Edgar Winter ABBA*, and *Tammy Wynette*.

Michael Jackson, known as the "King Of Pop," was an American singer, dancer, entertainer, songwriter, producer and recording artist. Born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, he began his career as the youngest member of The Jackson 5 and went on to have a successful solo recording career starting in 1971. With his immense talent and diverse skills as a musician, music producer, writer and choreographer, Jackson became one of the most celebrated and influential music artists of all time.

Aside from his musical achievements, Michael Jackson was also a poet, actor and philanthropist. He came from a talented family of recording artists including siblings Jackie Jackson, Janet Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, La Toya Jackson Marlon Jackson Randy Jackson Rebbie Jackson & Tito Jackson. He was also the uncle of 3T.

In recognition of his contributions to music history and culture,
Jackson was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 as a performer.

Back In Stock

Given the pace of Michael Jackson's post-Thriller release schedule, it's striking that Off The Wall appeared between two albums with his brothers, Destiny (1978) and Triumph (1980), on which the twenty something phenomenon was also fully engaged.

Aided by richly detailed but not overdone production, Off The Wall redefined how much Michael might do. Tracks like "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough", "Rock With You", the title cut (all Top 10 singles), and "Burn This Disco Out" not only consolidated his dance-floor power, but showed just how soulful and varied his vocals could get on uptempo material.

Artistic role models like James Brown and Jackie Wilson echo through the mixes, but these were Jackson's leaps forward. The addition of pure pop confection - Paul McCartney's "Girlfriend", and Stevie Wonder's "I Can't Help It" - further fleshed out the star's young-adult persona and helped make Off The Wall among the most fondly remembered of all his solo work.
