August 10th, 1979 is the day the entertainment industry changed forever. Off the Wall was his first album released with Epic Records rather than Motown. With promoters doubting his viability as a fully solo artist, growing animosity with the rest of the Jacksons, and a hunger to control his own career, Michael raised one not-yet-gloved middle finger and dropped the hottest disco album of all time :legend:

Certified 9x platinum in the US, it's sold over 20 million copies worldwide. The lead single, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, won MJ his first solo Grammy award.

Singles:
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (#1)
Rock With You (#1)
Off the Wall (#10)
She's Out of My Life (#10)

Stream the album that closed the 1970s right here:

What's your favorite track? :gayhat: my personal favorite has to be Get on the Floor. Louis Johnson's bass line SLAPS. Literally :billie: and the way he and Mike composed around it is pure genius. It's even better when it's 10 minutes long :legend:

Wow that's like at least double the time it takes to create a baby

This was an official message from the Office of the First Lady.

What is the meaning of the glowing socks @PartySick :partysick:

He wore short legged pants with bright socks so attention would be drawn to his feet while he danced on stage.

The cover is just calling even more attention to them :gayhat:

On the Floor is actually really great (although perhaps overlooked, since not one of the smash singles). :awesome:

But my favorite may be a toss up between Off the Wall and Rock with You
