Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson's collaboration in the late 1970s, beginning with The Wiz and culminating in albums like Off the Wall, fundamentally reshaped pop music.
Jones praised Jackson, highlighting his exceptional talent: 'You're looking at one of the most talented kids in the history of show business.' Their partnership flourished because of Jackson's keen attention to detail and Jones's expertise in big-band arranging.
With Off the Wall, Jackson's debut solo album, Jones leveraged his network of musicians, which included recruiting Rod Temperton, leading to chart-topping hits and Jackson's first Grammy.
Michael embraced the polished sound of disco with singles like 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough,' marking a significant shift in his career and establishing a new genre-defining era.
