'Off The Wall' was released through Epic Records on August 10, 1979. Markedly different from his previous four albums with Motown, it was a hyper-eclectic odyssey that incorporated disco, funk, pop, ballads, soul and even jazz into the meld. It featured mammoth hits like 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough' and 'Rock With You' and was a triumph in every sense, paving the way for Jackson's future career. To date it has sold just over 15million copies globally, including 7.5million in America.
