THE FIRST GREATEST MUSIC VIDEO is said to be 'Thriller' by Michael Jackson, a video which TV channels cleared their schedules for premier showings of this video and the documentary of the making of the video. This was not enough to satisfy Thriller mania and when the public were in clubs and the dj would play the Thriller video everyone would stop on the dancefloor for the 9 minutes it was playing and just watch it. It was very captivating. Michael had seen 'An American Werewolf in London' and became taken with the morphing and contacted John Landis, the director of Thriller, and told him he wanted to morph into a monster. The video was like a movie and changed what could be done with a music video. Jackson invented new dance moves and was a great dancer. This was the biggest ever music video in history and everybody wanted to watch it. The awakening of the zombie dance was accompanied with Vincent Price's Horror movie 'rap'. Michael sold 50 million copies and was a huge success and it cost $700,000 but it was money worth spent. Michael become very famous and something different altogether. After this video people would anticipate his other videos and become eager to watch them. Michael became the KING OF POP.
