- “Billie Jean” Thriller, 1982. Michael Jackson's greatest song sums up all the contradictions in his music: youthful exuberance, tortured nerves, pure physical grace.
- “I Want You Back” Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5, 1969. From the shooting-star piano that kicks it off, "I Want You Back" is one glorious shock after another – and, in 1969, its biggest shock of all was that its lead singer was both unquestionably a magnificent performer and obviously a little kid.
- “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” Off the Wall, 1979. Jackson called the opening track on Off the Wall "my first big chance," and he wasn't kidding. Six minutes of joyous pop funk that whooshed like a jet stream, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was both an unstoppable hit and a milestone in Jackson's creative life.
- “I’ll Be There” Third Album, 1970. "Just look over your shoulders, honey!" Jackson declares midway through "I'll Be There," misquoting another Motown hit, the Four Tops' "Reach Out I'll Be There."
- Tom Eames
