Additional to Jones' polished professional productions Michael Jackson collaborated with some of the finest songwriters of the time including Paul McCartney Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. As a result Off The Wall became the first album ever to spawn four Billboard Top Ten singles: Don't Stop Til You Get Enough Rock With You Off The Wall and She's Out Of My Life.Since it's release Off The Wall has sold over fifteen million copies and many critics believe as an album it has not been bettered by any of Michael Jackson's subsequent output. --David O'DonnellFind more music at the BBC This link will take you off Amazon in a new window
