I’m always disappointed that the era of Triumph isn’t talked about enough when referring to Michael Jackson’s career. Or even the respects of the brothers. They are so talented and contributed so much to that album. All of them wrote composed and produced. Randy and Jackie contributed heavily also in the writing process. And in my opinion Triumph has some of Michael Jackson’s greatest work. I’m not one to skip anything Michael but this is 100% a no skip album. One of his and their most underrated pieces! I was disappointed that in the movie (or any conversation)there is no mention of it. This was such a strong time for Michael coming off of Off The Wall pouring his creative young mind into this album totally got him ready for Thriller. He displays so much range in his performance it’s just so amazing. What are some of your favorite songs? Mine has always changed. But it’s usually “Give It Up”. If you have not listened to this album thank me later.

Directed by John Landis, Thriller wasn’t just a music video, it was a 13 minute short film that blended horror, storytelling, and choreography in a way the world had never seen. With a then record budget of around $500,000, it set a new standard and turned music videos into cultural moments, cementing Michael Jackson’s global impact.

this is one of my favorite Jackson 5 songs I feel like its so underrated and Tito did his big one with his guitar solo as well.

It was a quick meet and greet but they were so kind to me :) I told Jackie happy belated birthday and he thanked me and shook my hand, and then I shook Marlon’s hand as well. I still can’t believe I met them, they put on an amazing show as well!!!

Bass part originally played by Wilton Felder. There is no video footage of him playing this song (or in fact, almost none at all of him playing bass, as he was more prominently known as a sax player), so I tried my best to analyse the original audio and recreate how I think he would have played it with regards to fret positions. Find the complete song on YouTube. The sheet music is available through my website.
