The Weeknd, Pharrell Williams, Kobe Bryant, Mark Ronson, John Legend, Questlove, L.A. Reid, his parents Katherine and Joe, and his brothers Jackie and Marlon are among those contributing to Michael Jackson's Journey From Motown To Off The Wall, the new Spike Lee documentary that receives its Showtime premiere on February 5.
It focuses on "a rarely examined chapter of Jackson’s career as he evolves from the lead singer of Jackson 5 to a solo artist recording what will become his breakthrough, seminal 1979 pop record, Off The Wall. Audiences will travel with the global superstar as he strikes a new path with CBS Records, first with his brothers as The Jacksons and then stepping out on his own to create his own music with his own team. This illuminating portrait traces how an earnest, passionate, hard-working young man becomes the King of Pop."
