Bad is the seventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, released on Augin the United States by Epic Records and internationally by CBS Records.It was released nearly five years after Jackson's previous solo studio album, Thriller. Off the Wall, the dazzling 1979 album co-produced by Quincy Jones, announced Jackson as a mature talent, and the singles "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" and "Rock with You" turned it into a blockbuster. Quincy Jones produced the album and Jackson wrote four of its nine songs. As remarkable a run as the Jackson 5 had - at the dawn of the '70s, each of their first four singles went to number one and they stayed near the top of the charts for the next five years - it all served as a preamble to Jackson's solo career. A preternaturally gifted singer and dancer, Jackson first rose to stardom in 1969 as the 11-year-old frontman for his family's band, the Jackson 5. Michael Jackson wasn't merely the biggest pop star of his era, shaping the sound and style of the 1970s and '80s he was one of the defining stars of the 20th century, a musician who changed the contours of American culture.
