No matter who ever was Michael’s producer, the force behind the music and his own career was Michael, IMO.
Nobody buys someone’s album because of his or her producer. Producer’s name always comes as an additional factor, IMO. If matters at all.
As for Michael’s career after Thriller… There is so much more than just who was his producer to think about.
With Jones or not, there could be NO next album after Thriller if MICHAEL JACKSON was not strong enough to go on with his career having Vitiligo.
Why next albums didn’t sell as much as Thriller? Well, because some things happen in the right time and in the right place, with less competition and different market state. Quincy Jones was a lucky man to be part of it!
Yes, later Michael had to work differently but that was about different marketing strategies. Noone can sell a thing without working hard, no matter what your producer’s name is.
All I am trying to say is great music is great music and it cannot be not great enough, no matter how it selles.
One more thing, we cannot blame media for everything but managed to be successful, happy and creative knowing that half of Globe think you are unkind, untalented, abnormal person is difficult.
No producer could help with this; Michael Jackson went through this alone and he did great, all “if this or that” are unnecessary, IMO.
