#MICHAEL JACKSON GREATEST HITS LIST FULL#

Michael Jackson was a monumental figure in globalВ culture, but before he secured that legacy, there was a time he had to break out of his mold and navigate the choppy transition from child star to solo icon. #2 Michael Jackson вЂњDonвЂ™t Stop вЂTil You Get EnoughвЂќ And so вЂњRock With You,вЂќ while not often reaching the highest echelons of the MJ canon, is a triumph: a slightly surprising hit, a transformative moment, and a groove so moving, it can rock you still. 1, but it took someone like him to grow a bounty on ground no longer thought to be fertile. Jackson has been praised for defying trends and delivering greatness into the 1980s, when the song peaked at No.

вЂњRock With YouвЂќ is also a pure disco song, arriving at a time when the genre was on its way out. Instead of the falsetto of album opener вЂњDonвЂ™t Stop вЂ™Til You Get Enough,вЂќ he shows his range with a sensual lower register (by MJ standards, at least) like the 20-year-old he was, Jackson seemed eager to try out grown folksвЂ™ way of singing. There is, of course, a timeless chorus, but the verses that bridge the hooks together cement вЂњRock With YouвЂќ as the mature breakthrough Jackson wanted. The album successfully positioned MJ as a grown-up solo artist with a confident vision вЂњRock With YouвЂќ is the sound of that confidence. вЂњRock With YouвЂќ is something of an exception in that, while it certainly sounds immaculate on its own, it sounds even better in the context of Off the Wall, for which it serves as the sonic thesis. Obviously, Michael Jackson is in the mix and here the results:ДЄs the master of the single, Michael JacksonвЂ™s most memorable songs often feel like individually wrapped gifts of pop perfection-hits that contain entire standalone worlds within them.
