Michael Jackson-mania explodes in the 80s
The King of Pop takes the world by storm
On November 30, 1982, Thriller was released which would become the best-selling album of all time. My friend brought the cassette tape along on a camping trip to let me hear "this cool new scary song."
After Thriller debuted at number one, the hits didn't stop. Beat It. Billie Jean. Human Nature. P.Y.T. Wanna Be Startin' Something. And one of the Beatles even showed up to sing with Michael on The Girl is Mine.
