Thriller is an early 1984 hit single recorded by Michael Jackson for the Epic label. It reached #4 in the U.S. singles chart and #10 in the UK singles chart. The 14-minute video is regarded by many as the greatest music video of all-time, and the song itself is considered to be one of Jackson’s signature songs.

Written by Rod Temperton, produced by Quincy Jones, and featuring a guest soliloquy from Vincent Price, “Thriller” is one of Jackson’s signature songs, in no small part because of its music video. The original name for “Thriller” single was “Starlight Love.” The single was included on Jackson’s Thriller album, which was released on December 1, 1982 and was the final single pulled from it. A voice-over recording session of “Thriller” appears on the special edition version of the album, released in 2001. This session features additional verses of the rap performed by Vincent Price, which were removed from the final version of the song.
