Larry Stessel who was Video Commissioner at Epic Records at the time was the Executive Producer. Don and Michael Jackson developed the idea for the video. The “Man in the Mirror” music video was directed, produced and edited by Don Wilson. The song was remixed for the soundtrack of Jackson’s tribute tour Immortal. The song peaked at number 21 in the UK Singles Charts in 1988, but in 2009, following the news of Jackson’s death, the song peaked at number 2. It was nominated for Record of the Year at the 31st Grammy Awards. “Man in the Mirror” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, becoming Jackson’s tenth number-one single on the chart, and was certified 3x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Arranged with a gospel choir, the song is played in the keys of G major and A? major at a tempo of 100 bpm.
It was released on Februas the fourth single from his seventh solo album, Bad (1987). Each follow-up album was first compared to Thriller before being accepted as its own work, and albums such as Bad, Dangerous, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, the subsequent Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, and finally Invincible all have defining moments that will continue to thrill future generations as Jackson is rediscovered by new audiences.“Man in the Mirror” is a song recorded by Michael Jackson, with lyrics and music by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett, and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. The follow-up album, Thriller, more than proved that point, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time.
From the irresistible grooves of “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough,” it was apparent that Jackson’s magic had modern, lasting potential. With producer Quincy Jones, young Jackson resculpted his music to be among pop's most innovative and exciting. After all, it was Off the Wall-Jackson’s fifth studio album-that signaled a new era had arrived for MJ. The Indispensable Collection features every Michael Jackson studio album from 1979’s Off the Wall until his 2009 death, with the addition of Live at Wembley July 16, 1988.
