Luke and Greg on Thriller documentary —
Sat, Nov 24, 2007
On December 1, BBC Radio 2 will be broadcasting Thriller – Michael Jackson’s Masterpiece. The hour-long documentary tells the story of the most successful long player of all time.
The show features all the songs from the album with contributions from producer Quincy Jones, songwriter Rod Temperton, engineer Bruce Swedien, former CBS President Walter Yetnikoff, founder of MTV Bob Pittman, Paul McCartney, Toto's Steve Lukather and Greg Phillinganes, dancer Jeffrey Daniel and Motown President Berry Gordy.
We hear the story of how the LP nearly never got off the ground, how – when it finally did – it was a disaster and rapidly remixed, how the music critics reacted, how MTV came to Jackson’s rescue and how he returned the favour by making MTV the international station it is today. And, we he hear about the songs which catapulted Jackson into the status of global superstar.
Here is, at last, a Jackson documentary about the music, the phenomenon which became Thriller.
Toto fans will enjoy Luke recalling his and Jeff Porcaro's reaction to hearing Jackson and McCartney's The Girl Is Mine for the first time and how they laughed at the song's lyrics. Luke also talks about his role on Beat it and the use of Eddie Van halen for the song. Luke and Mike Porcaro discuss how Human Nature was rejected by the band who wanted to go down the rock and roll road more and Greg goes shopping with Jackson at the height of his fame.
The documentary - produced by Neil Cowling and Jed Pitman – airs on BBC Radio 2 on December 1 at 8pm GMT .
