Released in 1982 the Quincy Jones produced Thriller
Jackson brought in Paul McCartney for a duet, guitarist Eddie Van Halen for a jaw dropping solo, and Vincent Price for a creepy recitation
It was no surprise that Thriller was a hit what was a surprise was its staying power. Jackson duet with McCartney, The Girl Is Mine, was a natural single choice, and it peaked at number two then Billie Jean and the Van Halen track Beat It both hit number one for seven and three weeks respectively
lot of love shown for this piece - you love the beat it solo soo much you made it better

it's just a natural harmonic..
if you don't know what those are, watch Jaco Pastorius, Portrait of Tracy
he uses the vibrato bar to give it a whammy effect
