There were five adult solo albums, beginning with Off the Wall and ending with Invincible, and two more releases that had additional new songs, History and Blood on the Dance Floor. After a year or two of success with his brothers in the Jackson 5, he embarked on a solo career at age 13, with four more albums on Motown. The following is an account of every song Michael Jackson released as a solo artist. Off the Wall, his first adult solo album, showed off an extraordinary young man with astonishing moves, and Thriller, well, Thriller was about something more than marketing it was the work of a pop auteur of unparalleled gifts, as both a composer and (importantly) a celebrity as well. From his voice to his image to his dancing, it was so easy to get swept up in his High Pop Art.



Jackson was the most sensational performer - the full package - of his era. At his most charming, he had one of the most charismatic and endearing personas we’d ever seen. There was really something about Michael Jackson.
