IMOTHESE 2 LEGENDS HAVE SOME OF THE BEST ALBUM OPENERS OF ALL TIME.
Don't Stop till you Get Enough hit Billboard Top 100 as 1. An iconic disco song and the opener for Michael's first solo effort as an adult...Michael uses a falsetto and is said to have gotten the idea to sing falsetto from Marvin Gaye's singing on Got to Give it Up.
Also this song will get a cookout jumping.
'Wanna Be Startin Somethin' peaked at number 5 on Billboard 100. Michael wrote this around the Off The Wall era..and came up with the melody and the guitar solo. He made the guitarist play it until it sounded how Mike heard it in his head.
The "Mamase Mamasa" chants are from "Soul Makoosa" a 70s song. But Michael sounded like he channeled his ancestors when he went off at the end
The energy on this track is just
. The track really sets the tone for the rest of the album by showcasing the usage of drum machines(he used a Linn and Roland 808 on the album) and his signature high pitched "hee hee" and vocal hiccups.
Or
Prince
1999 charted low but was released again after 'Little Red Corvette' gained traction.
The synths..He used an Oberheim on this give the song a big sound...and set the tone for the rest of the album. This came about as he was getting pressure to come up with a Pop song from the label.
Lets Go Crazy charted Billboard number 1. The synths and the opening with that funeral procession feel give the song that "epic" feeling.
"Are we gonna let the ELEVATOR BRING US DOWN" ..Elevator = Devil.
Prince for being at times risque with his lyrics would alot of the times also incorporate religious themes or praise for the LORD. Then he ends it with some nice shred guitar.
