Too many to name....
You don't sell nearly 10 million copies of an Off The Wall and just be deemed as a successful black act....What MJ did with Off The Wall was almost unseen for music acts in any genre of music beyond say Stevie Wonder...And MJ sold more than Stevie....
Most black folks already viewed MJ as an American legend after Off The Wall...They were the same folks who watched the Jackson 5 cartoon...Now they were at the discos jamming to the hottest album on the planet....
What Thriller did was let Mars and the moon in on the MJ action....
