I remember this year clearly!!! It was just like that. Month after month Michael was in the news. He was everywhere. To a black kid, growing up at that time, that meant everything to me
Can you explain to me how the album was released, and then the songs came out after??? What did people buy if not all the songs came out?? Cause I see that Billie Jean came out in January 83 but according to websites the album came out 1982…what did people get if they bought it in 82??
When michael said "I'm now starting to enjoy friendship which is new for me" that hit me and that's sad knowing and learning that he was really never happy in his younger days
It would be nice to have been born a few years earlier, as BAD era was my first MJ at 8 years old. But I didn't have cool parents that would take me to concerts. And Thriller era Michael is just so sweet, I wish I had personal memories of seeing him on tv in that time but I don't remember him at all.
I'm 57 still this man is my all time favorite, I grew up with the Jackson 5 and Michael, blessed to have seen him in concert 5 times, the Bad tour was the last concert I attended in Atlanta GA .....simply the best of times to have been in your 20's!!!!
This takes me back to a fun time being a teenager, I already purchased "Thriller" on December 2, 1982, already wore it out around Christmas 1982 and wore it out some more throughout 1983 & 84. Watched the Motown 25th Anniversary Special with my grandmother, after the MJ performance my cousin called me and scream into my ear. Everyone in school talked about the next day which was a Friday. I also bought the Police album, "Flashdance" soundtrack, Prince's "1999" album Eddy Grant, Culture Club, Thomas Dolby and others. Cable TV arrived at my home around August 1983 and MTV stayed on almost 24/7 with the exception of HBO & Showtime. Then around December 1983, I arrived home from school, turned on MTV & watch the premiere of the video "Thriller" on a Friday. Watch it throughout the weekend and on Monday everyone was talking about it in school. Man those were the best times ever. I feel sorry for kids not experiencing great artists & MTV like we did in the 80's. I miss those days.
Amen to what you said yes the people that was not around to witness 1983 and 1984 they miss something truly special but I remember after the Motown 25 the next day in school it was a Michael Jackson craze going on it was hard to get class started when everybody was talking about the Motown 25 special Michael Jackson was the man!!!!
Hang with me on this, people. I just turned 40 Oct. 7th and I have ALWAYS been a MJ fan. My hero, he was... is. As a black man, it really makes me feel good to see people loving and showing appreciation for this man. The year, 1983 was a life changer for so many people. I am one of them. The video Thriller stayed playing in my house. That vhs tape played about 30 times a day. I ran the tv. Lol. I grew up watching people love this man to joking and hating him. There wasn't a week that went by that I wasn't fist fighting with dudes defending him. 2005 was the scariest year of my life, but then turned to one of the greatest after he was found NOT GUILTY. 2009 is a year I'll never forget. Fast forward to today... this video brought back memories of a happier time for me and for the first time (since I was 13 years old) I cried like a baby watching this. When it got to the Thriller video, I had to stop the video and walk away from my pc. It finally hit me! He's gone. The happiness, the magic is gone. I finally got myself together to finish this well put together of footage and facts from that year. This video helped me release what I have held in since 2009. Thank you, THE DETAIL. Great video! Much love and loyalty to all the MJ fans.
I would've given anything to have seen this man at his height/prime. Had whole industry shook and set the bar extremely high from that point on. All it took was _one_ album and _three_ videos. You'll never see that level of impact ever again.
I Was 11 Years Old Back Then So Of Course I Was Swept In The Wave!! But One Thing People Tend Forget Is That Michael Was ALREADY A Phenomenon BEFORE THRILLER!!!
Yeah the 'Bad" era is definitely in need of one. 1987 was the year of his long awaited and triumphant returns. He instantly went from superstar to megastar.
@@nuwavegurl he wass already a megastar thankss to 83 ..87 michael was a beast but he couldnt touch himself in 83 as in he never reached same height but was still way above the rest of the world.till this day no one has sold more albums than 83's thriller
🇩🇿In 1983 the world was suspended on Michael Jackson’s breath....The chemistry of the Magic voice , rythm, dance, lyrics, vidéos, the look.... He was and will be always phenomenal . Thank you for your love and the joy that you spread all over the planet and beyond....
Thriller was selling out in stores like Toilet paper and Lysol. What a time. I am becoming a MJ stan. Tremendous channel thanks for putting it 1983 and 1984 in a timeline. Amazing. Cant say it enough.
MJ at his absolute peak. ´83 Michael is like '87 Prince, or '76 Stevie (or '92 Michael Jordan if we're talking about sports) : the closest thing to perfection. Gosh I miss those days so much
@MrJon76 yeah Prince in '84 (Purple Rain era), but Prince's creativity peak is '87 (Sign O' the times album). But I agree I should have said 84´ Prince, his mainstream peak
1983 was a magical year. I remember watching Michael unveil the moonwalk and everyone was talking about it the next day. If the internet was around then, he'd have broken it. He was unstoppable back then 🥰❤❤❤
@@paulgilbert5278 my Senior year of highschool in 99 my brother surprised me and got me the black and white beat it coat(that he wore in the Pepsi commercial with Alfonso Roberio) for my birthday it was a great moment for me and him
Thanks for sharing back then Michael Jackson was very young and he knew actually what he wanted and the direction he wanted to go. Very young and a excellent dancer singer.. One of a kind a legend I believe no one will ever replace Michael Jackson. 🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻
I remember 83' vividly! It so much star power in the air. Madonna and Prince, along with Michael ❤️ was at the top of their careers around that time. I remember sitting in front of the television and watching all of these great artist and timeless videos/short films on MTV back in the day. Growing up in the 80s was a fun and magical experience for me. 🤗
Yeah same for me I was in jr high music back then was great can't say being a teen was first me though it was an awkward and lonely time being bullied but the music kept me going through
AMEN, Bro. I was only five in '83 but believe it or not, I remember all of the things you mentioned. This may sound sacrilegious and I do recognize there's only one God, but MJ and Prince were like my Lord & Savior respectively throughout my life, even now. Their gifts got me through some really dark and tough times. Madonna is a legend, too and deserves everything she's gotten, but for me...MJ & P- Man 4eva!
@@eph_loves_80s74 I said nothing about either one of their hair, but apparently you need a haircut because of COVID, so hair is all you can think about.
I love this idea for an episode! I would like to see every year of Michael's career presented this way! There would be enough material to keep this channel going for years :) Great job the detail.! And thank you for it :)
That year changed everything for MJ but also the music industry and Pop artistry in general. Those who remember it must've been bowled over by all the greatness they were seeing.
Out of boredom a few years ago, I wanted to make a playlist for every year mj was in the public, doing anything exciting. This video is definitely way better than all those playlists combined! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼
I remember these days. Thanks for this. I was already a huge MJ fan before 1983, and 1983 turned me from fan to fanatic. I remained a fanatic through the BAD album, then after that I went back to fan, and I'll always be there.
You truly do an incredible job with documenting the history in these videos. You have very clean edits and a particular, consistent flow that makes everything thing feel adventurous. Keep up the good work!
Videos like this is a reminder (for people my age or, older) of the ‘Golden Age’ of early to mid-80’s! I feel TRULY fortunate to have lived, witnessed and participated in such a magnificent time known as, “The era of Michael Jackson!” For those of you too young to remember or, not born yet...., you have my sympathy!! These videos are great but, they’ll NEVER capture the electricity in the air that Michael exuded!! I remember playing outdoors with cousins, then hearing my Mom yell, “Michael’s Pepsi commercial is on!!” In the house I’d run, only to catch a small scene. I was SO disappointed although, I’d seen the commercial about 80 times before.
THE DETAIL!!! I don't subscribe to many, but I subscribe to you. This footage is amazing and some incredibly rare. Thank you for sharing more MJ moments and your great videos! 🙏❤️🎶
Thanks so much. Being a fan from 1984-1996 and then 2018-... there's so much I haven't seen, especially considering I belong to an era where there was no Internet, cell phones and we have to rely on TV, mags and radio shows. To top it, I don't live in the US where every single day there were news about Michael. Those days were a real trial for us fans waiting for Thriller's follow-up, and then Bad's follow-up, and so on. Great, great memories. Really helpful for my fan fic, too. Greetings from Argentina.
@J Crash That's right. Waiting for Bad proved nerve-racking, especially living in a country where little news from him were shown. Americans was very fortunate because all the time they had info about Michael: We Are The World, Captain Eo and whatever he did, though he was quiet reclusive during those years. We had to rely on some lines in newspapers or music mags. And then until the 1993 allegations it was the greatest era ever. Michael was hotter and hotter. I just can't believe what happened and how from mid 1993 things went downhill for our poor Michael. He didn't deserve to suffer that way...
Billie Jean Beat It Wanna Be Starting' Somethin' Thriller Human Nature Baby be Mine PYT The Lady in my Life The Girl is Mine That's pretty much my personal ranking of the Thriller album.
1983 was the year michael jackson became the most famous person worldwide since jesus christ no one will experience that level of fame ever again rip michael jackson
Wow I think this is your best video yet! What an incredible way to lay out Michael Jackson's peak in fame, how he got there and how it impacted the world. You should really do more year-in-review type videos like this one. So informative, insightful, entertaining etc. It would be so cool if you laid out every year of his life lol but I know that's asking too much.
This is a great video!! One of my favourite so far! Really good to see it all summarised like this. I hope you make more for other pivotal years for all the eras. I felt the could have been just slightly faster and full screen images makes it hard to read subtitles.
Basically Michael woke up on January 1st 1983 and decided this was the year he would step on everyone necks and not let up for 20 years 😂😂
LMFAOOO right
😆 true
You right he coulda released Thriller back in late 1982 but it seems he took on 1983 by storm since Day one in January!!! The timing is perfect
😹😹😹
Your comment won the internet
1983 was the greatest year for Michael Jackson he definitely took over the world no artist will never do that again
Someone like Micheal and Elvis come around every 50 years.

I'm a heavy metal kinda guy, but there was never a musician-showman artist like Michael Jackson. He was a musical magician...
Still find it hard to believe that Thriller immediately became the best selling album of ALL-TIME that year, he was truly the man in 1983-1984.
No he was the man of the 80s period.

Being a fan from 1984-1996 and then 2018-... there's so much I haven't seen, especially considering I belong to an era where there was no Internet, cell phones and we have to rely on TV, mags and radio shows. To top it, I don't live in the US where every single day there were news about Michael. Those days were a real trial for us fans waiting for Thriller's follow-up, and then Bad's follow-up, and so on. Great, great memories. Really helpful for my fan fic, too. Greetings from Argentina.
@J Crash That's right. Waiting for Bad proved nerve-racking, especially living in a country where little news from him were shown. Americans was very fortunate because all the time they had info about Michael: We Are The World, Captain Eo and whatever he did, though he was quiet reclusive during those years. We had to rely on some lines in newspapers or music mags. And then until the 1993 allegations it was the greatest era ever. Michael was hotter and hotter. I just can't believe what happened and how from mid 1993 things went downhill for our poor Michael. He didn't deserve to suffer that way...
1983 to 1993 Michael was at his peak RIP
I didn’t see the James Brown Concert where MJ & Prince attended and made on stage appearances in 83
It was there but taken out due to copyright issues

Mannnnnnn this is gonna be good I haven’t even watched it yet but this is when Michael became the king 👑
I never knew there were behind the scenes photos/footage of the Motown performance. That's so dope. Where did you find them?
The footage was included on the Motown 25 DVD set that came out a few years ago.
Beautiful Michael Jackson king of pop 💜 💜 I Love you Michael 💝 💝
MJ was at his most handsome in the 80’s. Not yet disfigured by plastic surgery. He was on top of the world in every aspect of his life and career.
1983 was the year michael jackson became the most famous person worldwide since jesus christ no one will experience that level of fame ever again rip michael jackson
Wow I think this is your best video yet! What an incredible way to lay out Michael Jackson's peak in fame, how he got there and how it impacted the world. You should really do more year-in-review type videos like this one. So informative, insightful, entertaining etc. It would be so cool if you laid out every year of his life lol but I know that's asking too much.
Bron 1977 I remember 1983 a little bit I was very young what a year for music
Michael Jackson 🇺🇸🇺🇸👑⭐⭐⭐⭐🗽
This is a great video!! One of my favourite so far! Really good to see it all summarised like this. I hope you make more for other pivotal years for all the eras.
I felt the could have been just slightly faster and full screen images makes it hard to read subtitles.
MJ pulled up to the Dream Girls play with the beat it jacket on. Lol
This was EVERYTHING..THANKS
Great to see this month to month account of an important year in Michael's life!
I love this channel and yours as well girl🤗
@@mocancer8485 thank you so much!❤🤗
Please please please do 1984!
Interesting because the RnB station in NYC played so much of the album in 82. I definitely heard Billie Jean and WBSS then.
This is a good job highly appreciated
