Easy listening

I know Thriller is the biggest selling record of all time and the Motown 25 performance of Billie Jean put this man on the map. But this album pictured here is the real masterpiece. If you haven't heard all the tracks, do yourself a favour and try to. Everybody's heard "Don't stop til you get enough" and even we play "Rock with you" regularly. But tracks to look out for are "It's the falling in love", "I can't help it", "Girlfriend" and ofcourse "Off the wall". The younger generation will say "Hey this man copied Loyiso's song!". Sorry children, this original recording was done in 1979, back then... Loyiso who? Don't let that put you off. This is smooth RnB, definitely enjoyable in this day and age. Listen to the instruments and orchestration. Quincy Jones... enough said.
