The No1 song in the US on this day, October 13th 1979, was Dont Stop Til You Get Enough by Michael Jackson from the album Off The Wall. It would peak at No3 in the UK. Jackson wrote this for an extremely high vocal range. Since his voice could not carry this alone, he was overdubbed a few times to create a harmony and fill out the vocals. The video was very advanced for its time. It showed Jackson dancing in front of various funky backgrounds, with 3 images of Michael on the screen for a while. Off The Wall was the first album Jackson recorded for Epic Records. All of his previous solo work was with Motown. This was the first Michael Jackson song where he made lots of screams and squeals throughout the vocals. He had tremendous success with the same technique on much of the Thriller album. This was Jacksons first No1 since Ben in 1972 (during the same week of the year). Jackson won his first Grammy Award for this song, taking home the trophy for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance. Heres the video for Dont Stop Til You Get Enough.....Enjoy!
