Michael Jackson's Vision

Michael Jackson is often credited as the artist who brought black music to MTV. Before Jackson's Thriller, MTV had been criticized for playing too few non-white musicians. Jackson gave the network no choice, offering up videos that were more like short films than stiff three-minute concoctions. This collection features 42 of Jackson's short films, including the John Landis–directed 14-minute "Thriller" and "Black or White," plus the 18-and-a-half-minute film directed by Martin Scorsese for "Bad." Other notable directors such as David Fincher ("Who Is It"), Spike Lee ("They Don't Care About Us"), Mark Romanek ("Scream"), Herb Ritts ("In the Closet"), and John Singleton ("Remember the Time") also made notable collaborations with Jackson. Just about every Michael Jackson video that one could want from the Off the Wall period onward is featured here, including 10 videos that had been previously unavailable for purchase. What an era it was!
