The Twitter account posted an image of a young Jackson, clad in a silk shirt, with an inspiration quote from the pop icon.
It read: “‘Off The Wall … meant a great deal to me.
“Because its eventual success proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a former ‘child star’ could mature into a recording artist with contemporary appeal’ – Michael Jackson.”
The quote concluded with the date of the tweet’s post, which coincided with the album’s release date: “Off The Wall was released August 10, 1979.”
