Throughout their brilliant and explosive career, the Jacksons have reigned as one of the world’s premiere musical groups. Since they began recording for Epic Records, the Jacksons have continued their upward climb of satisfying even larger numbers of music listeners. Their music and superb stage presence has been overwhelmingly applauded in virtually every country in which they have performed. I would personally like to thank the Jacksons for the contributions they have made to the music industry and I look forward to seeing their continued success in the future. (Walter Yetnikoff, President CBS/Records Group. “The Jacksons Tenth Anniversary Billboard Special” 1979)

On February 7, 1984, Michael Jackson - along with 15,000 invited guests attend the New York Metropolitan Museum of National History to receive awards from CBS and The Guinness Book Of World Records. To date, ‘Thriller’ had sold over 25 million copies worldwide - more then any other album in recording history. Jackson is presented with the first edition of the 1984 paperback version of The Guinness Book Of World Records, which he receives from Norris McWhirter. On receiving the distinction, he declares:

      “I’ve been performing for twenty years. I started at 5 years old touring with my brothers, The Jackson 5, and still I haven’t – you know, I feel like I’ve just begun, you know… And I’ve always wanted to do great things and achieve many things, but for the first time in my entire career I feel like I’ve accomplished [this], because I’m in the Guiness Book Of World Records”.
