Happy “Off The Wall” Day! On this date in 1979, the first album of Michael Jackson’s adult career was released. Michael wanted it to make an impact as he reflected on its making in his book Moonwalk: “What I wanted most to happen in the studio, I told him [Quincy Jones], we’ve got to make it sound different from the Jacksons. Hard words to spit out, considering how hard we’d worked to become the Jacksons.” “Off The Wall” became the first album by a solo artist to generate four US top 10 hits, including two #1 hits: “Rock With You” and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”.
