Documentary celebrates 40th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s Thriller - New York Amsterdam News

On November 30, 1982, just over three years later, Jackson released “Thriller,” which earned him a record-breaking 8 Grammy Awards, including “Album of the Year.”

“Billie Jean” remains the most streamed Michael Jackson song and “Thriller” is the only music video that has been inducted onto the elite National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. “The release of Thriller redefined Michael Jackson, taking him from teen star to adult superstar, who composed memorable songs, sang beautifully and reached the highest level of on-stage performance,” Nelson George said in the release.

Once the wall came crashing down, MTV’s ratings soared, and a door was opened for a generation of African American artists.
