1979 was a monumental year for Michael Jackson, as he embarked on a world tour with his brothers after the success of their ‘Destiny’ album. While on tour, Jackson began recording his ‘Off The Wall’ album, which was released in the summer and became a smash hit with rave reviews.
Michael released two no. 1 singles in 1979, his last no.1 was with ‘Ben’ in 1972, and his new found popularity allowed the Jacksons to ramp up their Destiny tour into an arena production, which they toured the US in till the end of the year.
