Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' at 30: 30 unknown facts for 30 years

  • Before he met Michael Jackson and collaborated for Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad, Quincy Jones had created the opening score (musical theme) for “Sanford and Son,” the soundtrack for The Wiz (that’s how he and Michael met) and many other movies, and he worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles.
