Michael Jackson's Thriller Vocal Harmonies

US Individual parts of horror smash hit      04/10/21

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' album was released in 1982 and won him Grammys for Album of the Year (1983) and Best Video Album in 1984. The title track is well known for its nightmare inducing video - as well as the disco-funk production, with Quincy Jones at the helm. Here we have the vocal tracks played individually; a fascinating insight into the harmonies within the song and a chance to work out how they sound so wild and intoxicating.

You'll find a pretty extensive collection of other vocal tracks in this playlist from the same youtube channel. 

Have a listen to the original in all its glory (the song starts at 4:13):

 

The Prodigy also did a Thriller remake (minus the vocals):on their 'Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned' album

 

And especially for Ty Unwin, we have the chip music version by Saitone:
