Since the album debuted 40 years ago, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” inspired generations of music fans who still sing the classic hits and imitate the dance moves from the trailblazing music video.
noted that CBS Records didn't want to cover the cost of the video, and MTV had a policy of not paying for clips. Jackson and Landis funded their budget for the video by getting MTV and Showtime to pay $250,000 each for the rights to show a 45-minute documentary titled "The Making of Thriller." An annual tradition among many worldwide is gathering in a random space to perform the "Thriller" zombie dance in a flash mob performance.
Jackson, who died at 50 years old in 2009, has left a legacy that has influenced some of the biggest names in music, including Chris Brown and Ciara. The two entertainers celebrated "Thriller’s" anniversary with a video of them choreographing some of Jackson’s signature moves.All the news you need to know, every day
