Not to mention the huge strides they made for black artists within the music industry, dominating the pop charts which were very much enjoyed by white audiences.
They reinvented pop music, and throughout the 1980s alone, they produced a combined 30 top ten hits between them with 13 of those songs reaching No.1.
Thrillerwould go on to become the best-selling album of all time, seeing Michael Jackson push the possibilities of music videos with it.
