This new vinyl figure, dressed in that iconic outfit, poised mid-dance, captures the essence of that seminal moment in pop history. Zooming in to February 28, 1984, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, you could sense something monumental was about to unfold. It was a supernova that altered the DNA of MTV, breaking racial barriers and reshaping the rules of music video production. One that encouraged music video directors to think outside the box and create works that reflected the essence of the song and the artist while touching viewers’ hearts.

The Thriller phenomenon amplified MTV’s cultural relevance and simultaneously laid the groundwork for the making-of genre of documentary – a peek behind the curtain that was equally enthralling. It was the unlikely marriage of cinema and music, a 13-minute tour de force that transfixed a generation and beyond.And Michael, with his 1984 Grammy sweep, secured his position as a star and a supernova in the music galaxy. Little did we know that a phone call between Michael and acclaimed director John Landis in the wee hours of a London morning would catalyze a seismic shift in how we perceived and consumed music videos.

And he wasn’t done yet – he took home Producer of the Year – Non-Classical and Best Recording for Children for “The E.T. Storybook.”Picture the creative process – not merely crafting a music video but a short film that blurs the boundaries of entertainment.
