BILLIE JEAN
“Billie Jean” is a song by American singer Michael Jackson. It is the second single from the singer’s sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). It was written and composed by Jackson and produced by him and Quincy Jones. The song was promoted with a short film that broke down MTV’s racial barrier as the first video by a black artist to be aired in heavy rotation. Awarded numerous honours — including two Grammy Awards, one American Music Award, and an induction into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame — the song and corresponding music video helped propel Thriller to the status of best-selling album of all time.

Romeo Void released three albums in all; “Never Say Never” comes from the second album, Benefactor. On their last album, Instincts, the band reached the Top 40 with the single “A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)”; according to Debora Iyall, this song is intended as an answer to Michael Jackson’s mega-hit “Billie Jean”.
