Michael Jackson's Thriller 40 Double CD includes the original Masterpiece + a bonus CD of demos and rarities; 15 additional tracks available digitally.MORE ABOUT THRILLER
•••• Worldwide, Thriller went to #1 in practically every country in the world, including the UK, France, Italy, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, South Africa, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa and remains the biggest selling album of all time with sales in excess of 100 million. Seven tracks from the album became Top 10 singles, and three, "Beat It," "Billie Jean," and "Thriller," went to No. 1.
•••• The music on Thriller was so singular for the time it defied any definition of rock, pop or soul that had gone before. "Beat It" was a new kind of pop rock hybrid and demolished the longstanding segregation between black and white music with Eddie Van Halen's incendiary guitar. On "The Girl Is Mine," two men, one white and one Black, banter about the same girl. On the same album were songs like the African rooted "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and the rhythm and blues based "Billie Jean."
•••• Michael set out to revolutionize how to tell a story and entertain on a grand scale through film but faced roadblocks. Despite the luscious cinematography, dramatic narrative and spectacular choreography of "Billie Jean," a fledgling MTV, which was programming white rock artists almost exclusively, refused to play it. Epic persisted. Once the wall came crashing down, MTV's ratings soared and a door was opened for generations of African American artists. "He was MTV's Jackie Robinson," said cultural critic Touré.
•••• Next, came the unforgettable short film for "Beat It," which featured Michael bringing two gangs together through the power of music and dance. And then there was "Thriller." Premiered at the AVCO Theatre in Los Angeles in 1983, it sold out every night for three weeks. No other music video before or since has generated such excitement and has such a hold on our attention, such that 40 years later it is shared by many as a collective memory and it remains the only music video to be inducted into the elite National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
•••• Music from Thriller and Michael's other hit albums is featured in the hit Las Vegas show Michael Jackson ONE, at the Michael Jackson ONE Theater in Mandalay Bay Resorts and Casino and in the acclaimed Broadway musical MJ The Musicalat the Neil Simon Theatre in New York, which won four Tony Awards earlier this year. Michael has sold more than 1 billion records and remains one of the top streaming artists in the world.

• 114- Art Rupe, pioneering record executive who helped launch Little Richard's career, dies at 104
•••• Rupe, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, died Friday (April 15) at his home in Santa Barbara, California.
•••• Music executive Art Rupe, whose Specialty Records was a premier label during the early years of rock'n'roll and who helped launch the careers of Little Richard, Sam Cooke and many others, has died. He was 104.
•••• He was born Arthur Goldberg, the son of an Austrian immigrant laborer, in Greensburg, Pa., on Sept 5, 1917, whose passion for Black music began through hearing the singers at a nearby Baptist church. He studied at
Art Rupe, Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images
the University of California, Los Angeles, and after considering a career in movies decided on music instead. He co-founded Juke Box Records in the mid-1940s, but soon left to start Specialty.

•••• Rupe was a contemporary of Jerry Wexler, Leonard Chess and other white businessmen-producers who helped bring Black music to the general public. He founded Specialty in Los Angeles in 1946 and gave early breaks to artists such as Cooke and his gospel group the Soul Stirrers, Little Richard, Lloyd Price, John Lee Hooker and Clifton Chenier.

 •Little Richard: Michael Ochs Archives

••• •••• Rupe settled on Specialty's eye-popping yellow labels after a marketing professor said it was among the colors most likely to attract buyers' attention.
•••• An astute businessman who loved the music while at the same time signed his artist to exploitative record deals -- "Tutti Frutti" sold more than 500,000 copies but, at a royalty rate of half-cent per record, reportedly netted Little Richard a mere $25,000.
•••• Rupe was known for how little he paid his artists and engaged in an exploitative practice common among label owners in the early rock era: having performers sign contracts leaving him with much or all of the royalties and publishing rights. "Tutti Frutti" sold more than 500,000 copies but, at a royalty rate of half-cent per record, reportedly netted Little Richard a mere $25,000. In 1959 Little Richard would sue Rupe for back royalties and settled out of court for $11,000.

•••• Eventually Rupe grew increasingly frustrated with the "payola" system of bribing broadcasters to get records played and distanced himself from the music business. He sold Specialty to Fantasy Records in the early 1990s, but continued to earn money through oil and gas investments. In recent years, he headed the Arthur N Rupe Foundation, which supported education and research.

Rupe spent his final decades in Santa Barbara.

Stubblefield, the Man History Overheard By Harvey Geller •••• In Life's current Bicentennial issue, radio checks in, at #86 on the hot "100 Events That Shaped America," 19 buttons behind Bell's telephone. Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's dots and dashes as the first wireless broadcast, a fable echoed by the World Almanac and Encyclopedia Britannica. It's a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence offered on the following pages has not, until now, appeared in any national publication. •••• The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of mystery, machination, ephemeral enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a two-room shanty constructed of pine and cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated architect is discovered 48 hours after his death, his records scattered, his equipment destroyed, his brain partly eaten by rats. Even local radio fails to mention his demise. He is Nathan Beverly Stubblefield, the man history over-heard and then overlooked. • Click for Full Story Published in Warner Bros.
