Released in August 1979 "Off The Wall" was Michael's first solo album as an adult artist.
He wanted this album to be the best it could be. He needed someone with great experience and had met Quincy Jones on the set on the movie "The Wiz" and Quincy produced the album.
Michael wanted the sound of the album to be different from that of the Jackson's who had just had there biggest album success with the album "Destiny".
Michael wanted songs that were good for him to sing and that he could move to. In came Rod Temperton who penned "Rock With You" a big hit, "Burn This Disco Out" and the title track.
