专辑介绍1979年，Michael Jackson发表了他在Epic唱片公司旗下的第一张、亦是Quincy Jones首次为他操刀的专辑“Off The Wall”，一推出便佳评如潮，连一向不过度赞美人的乐评家Davish Marsh都在Rolling Stone杂志里赞许这张专辑。“Off The Wall”包含了舞曲的节拍、摇滚吉他的表现、灵魂的激切及恰到好处的吉巴，是一张心灵与音乐的完美组合。这张专辑全球销售七百万张，在Billboard榜上一直停留到1984年才下榜。
《Off The Wall》专辑于1979年8月发行，是Michael Jackson第一张成人单飞专辑。它是Michael和超级制作人Quincy Jones的首次合作。专辑原名为《Girlfriend》（女友），是当时前Beatles成员Paul McCartney和妻子Linda为Michael量身打造的同名歌曲；Heatwave乐队的Rod Temperton也为专辑贡献了三首不错的曲子；同时还有Stevie Wonder和Carole Bayer Sager等的加入。强大的阵容与Michael的天才相结合，使得该专辑成为了Michael Jackson王者之路上的首座丰碑。
《Off The Wall》专辑被誉为“摇滚与灵歌的完美结合”，获得了《滚石》杂志五星级最高评价，多年来一直被业界人士和歌迷们推崇为Michael的最佳作品，亦被认为是音乐史上的一座里程碑。专辑总共在美国专辑榜内停留了84周，其中派生的四只单曲全部打进了排行榜前10名（两首冠军），创下了排行榜上的空前的纪录。《Off The Wall》在英国排行榜上也令人惊叹地停留了173周，并成为英国音乐史上首张坐享五首上榜金曲的专辑。截止1980年底，专辑在全球卖出了约1100万张。这对当时低靡的音乐工业来说，无疑是一针激动人心的兴奋剂。而“Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough”一曲更为Michael夺得了
他单飞生涯的第一座葛莱美奖杯——“最佳R&B男歌手”。
发行《Off The Wall》时，Michael才刚满21岁。据他自己说，制作这张专辑是他最艰难的时日。作为一个社会阅历颇浅的羞涩男孩，他没有几个真心的朋友，而且由于内疚感和责任感，他总是得把自己封闭起来。于是就在这份孤独之中，他开始一肩挑起自己的人生。专辑推出后，Michael还以乐队成员的身份加入了The Jacksons的“Triumph”巡演，获得了人们一致的好评，为乐队和自己的专辑作出了良好宣传。
《Off The Wall》的成功使他胜利地摆脱了以往童星的形象，并被世人视为新一代的成人巨星，这对Michael的事业生涯来说，无疑是一个巨大的转折点。这张涵盖摇滚、灵歌、疯克、爵士、民谣、迪斯科等多种元素的天才作品，将永远作为“后Motown魅力”的经典，代代流传。
像其他的童星一样，Michael Jackson不得不在公众的视线中温文而雅地成长以继续他的明星生涯。直到现在，他都依然很在意他在摩城唱片公司时的彼得潘式的形象，因为这个年轻的音乐王子对现在自己将要扮演什么样角色的态度是很慎重的。《Off The Wall》标志着他开始为蜕变成一个成熟的艺人而迈出了关键一步，除了某些歌曲表现平平外，总的来说，这张专辑还是非常成功的。
娴熟顺畅的R&B曲风，又有着明显的迪斯科倾向，《Off The Wall》让Michael成为了80年代的Stevie Wonder。在《I Can't Help It》 （与Wonder合作写成）中，其相似程度尤其明显，其中Michael演唱时对一些音节的省略，不禁使人联想到那位大师让人凝神屏气梦幻般的间歇性的音节反复唱腔。
Jackson的天鹅绒般柔软的高音贯穿始终，格外出众。他大胆地进行真假音转换，并能平稳流畅的过渡到高得令人吃惊的音符上去。《She's Out Of My Life》源于Tom Bahler的催人泪下的故事，歌者用极其感人的措辞演绎了一场感情危机，使人每听一次都能被打动。《Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough》（由Michael填词并参与制作）是少有的既可作为一首单纯的舞曲来听，又能华丽而震撼得媲美“Earth,Wind and Fire”乐队的《Boogie Wonderland》。专辑内其它的舞曲风格多样，从美国南部爵士乐到主流的流行放克。
《Off The Wall》最经典的表现了一种被迪斯科舞曲化了的后摩城魅力，无论对于制作人Quincy Jones还是Michael来说，都是一场巨大的胜利。

Rock With You
by Rod Temperton
Girl, close your eyes,
let that rhythm get into you.
Don't try to fight it,
there ain't nothing that you can do.
Relax your mind.
Lay back and groove with mine.
You got to feel that heat,
and we can ride the boogie.
Share that beat alone
Chorus
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Were gonna rock the night away
Out on the floor,
there ain't nobody there but us.
Girl when you dance,
there's a magic that must be love.
Just take it slow,
'Cause we got so far to go
When you feel that heat,
and we're gonna ride the boogie.
Share that beat of love
Chorus
And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)
You know that love survives,
so we can rock forever, on
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
I wanna rock (all night)
with you girl (sunlight)
Rock with you,
rock with you girl (yeah)
(all night)
Dance the night away
Chorus
Feel the heat feel the heat
Rock you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock - rock the night away

Off The Wall
by Rod Tempterton
When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can't hang with the feelin'
Then there ain't no room for you this part of town
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way
Chorus:
So tonight gotta leave the nine to five up on the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
You can shout out all you want to
'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance to do it
Then there ain't no one who's gonna put you down
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy thats the only way
Chorus
Bridge:
Do what you want to do
There ain't no rules it's up to you
(ain't no rules it's all up to you)
It's time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get too old
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way
Chorus

She's Out Of My Life
by Tom Bahler
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted
I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

I Can't Help It
by Stevie Wonder & Susaye Greene
Looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind
Helpless like a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It's getting better all the time
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I can't help it if wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
Love to run my fingers
Softly while you sigh
Love came and possessed you
Bringing sparkles to your eyes
Like a trip to heaven
Heaven is the prize
And I'm so glad I found you, girl
You're an angel in disguise
I can't help it if wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
(Repeat to fade)

It's The Falling In Love
(A duet with Patti Austin)
by Carole Bayer Sager & David Foster
You're not like anybody I ever knew
But that don't mean that I don't know where we are
And though I find myself attracted to you
This time I'm trying not to go too far, 'cause
No matter how it starts it ends the same
Someone's always doing someone more
Trading in the passion for that taste of pain
It's only gonna happen again
It's the fallin' in love
That's makin' me high
It's the being in love
That makes me cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love
That's makin' me high
It's the being in love
That makes me cry, cry, cry
All night ... all night
And though I'm trying not to look in your eyes
Each time I do they kind of burn right through me
Don't wanna lay down in a bed full of lies
And yet my heart is saying come and do me
Now we're just a web of mystery
A possibility of more to come
I'd rather leave the fantasy of what might be
But here I go falling again
It's the fallin' in love
That's makin' me high
It's the being in love
That makes me cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love
That's makin' me high
It's the being in love
That makes me cry, cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love
That's makin' me high
It's the being in love
That makes me cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love
That's makin' me high
It's the being in love
That makes me cry, cry, cry, cry
Over you ... Over you
(all night)
(You got me fallin' in love, fallin' in love)
It's the fallin' in love
That's makin' me high
It's the being in love
That's makes me cry, cry, cry ... etc.

英国:#7美国:#10
《Off The Wall》专辑同名单曲是在英国发行的第二只单曲(1979年11月)，亦是在美国发行的第三只单曲(1980年2月)。“Off The Wall”和“Rock With You”在英美两国的发行顺序正好相反。
它在英国排行榜上排名第7。成为了Michael《Off The Wall》专辑在英国榜上的第2只Top 10单曲并促进了专辑的销售。
在美国，它在流行榜内排名第10，在R&B榜内排名第5。它成为了Michael专辑内第3只Top10金曲，虽然和前两首冠军单曲对比起来有些失色，但它仍卖出了50万张以上并获得了金唱片奖的认证。它在单曲榜内共逗留了17周。
同“Rock With You”一样，它几乎没有在世界范围内发行。只有丹麦才似乎商业发行了该曲。

现场表演
这首歌仅在早期Michael和兄弟的家族巡演中得以完整表演。在第一轮“HIStory”巡演中，它作为了“Off the Wall歌曲串烧”的一部分（对口型演唱）。配合该曲的舞步也十分出彩。
