I'm committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. And I believe that that is the very reason for the existence of art and what I do. And I feel fortunate in being that instrument through which music flows… (...)" • Michael Jackson, Ebony/Jet Interview, May 2002

"People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It’s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song. So I stay in the moment and listen. What I hear is never the same. A walk through the woods brings a light, crackling song: Leaves rustle in the wind, birds chatter and squirrels scold, twigs crunch underfoot and the beat of my heart holds it all together. When you join the flow, the music is inside and outside, and both are the same. As long as I can listen to the moment, I’ll always have music." • Michael Jackson in his book Dancing the Dream

🇺🇲 • Today the greatest album of all time turns 38! Thriller is a masterpiece of contemporary pop music. The album broke racial barriers in popular music, enabling Jackson's appearances on MTV and meeting with President Ronald Reagan at the White House. It was among the first to use music videos as promotional tools; the videos for "Billie Jean", "Beat It" and "Thriller" are credited for transforming music videos into a serious art form. The album's success set the standard for the music industry with its songs, music videos and promotion strategies influencing artists, record labels, producers, marketers and choreographers. This is History, baby!

🇧🇷 • Hoje o maior álbum de todos os tempos completa 38 anos! Thriller é uma obra-prima da música pop contemporânea. O álbum quebrou as barreiras raciais na música popular, permitindo as aparições de Jackson na MTV e o encontro de Jackson com o presidente Ronald Reagan na Casa Branca. Foi um dos primeiros a usar videoclipes como ferramentas promocionais; os vídeos de "Billie Jean", "Beat It" e "Thriller" são creditados por transformarem os videoclipes em uma forma de arte séria. O sucesso do álbum definiu o padrão para a indústria musical com suas canções, videoclipes e estratégias de promoção que influenciam artistas, gravadoras, produtores, comerciantes e coreógrafos. Isso é História, bebê!

🇺🇲 • Imagine having Michael Jackson's phone number back in the 1980s. Do you imagined? So, at an auction for personal belongings by Sammy Davis Jr., his personal phone book back in the 80s was up for auction. The phone book included several numbers of celebrities of that time, including Michael Jackson. Michael's number was (213) 907 5130. What a dream, huh? 😍

🇺🇲 • "Moving body is an art. Dance is the true expression of emotions by body movements. It's a wonderful thing to be on the floor, but feel free yet inexplicably, literally in the higher realms and do what you want ... It is an escapism, a way to get away from everything and just move your body to let all tension and pain to come out." • Michael Jackson

🇧🇷 • "Mover o corpo é uma arte. A dança é a verdadeira expressão das emoções pelos movimentos do corpo. É uma coisa maravilhosa sentir o chão. Sentir-se livre, inexplicavelmente, literalmente sentir-se nos reinos superiores e fazer o que quiser... É um escapismo, uma forma de fugir de tudo e apenas mover seu corpo para deixar toda a tensão e dor sair. " • Michael Jackson
