"The Way You Make Me Feel" is a song written by American recording artist Michael Jackson and recorded for his seventh album Bad (1987). Produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones, it was released as the album's third single in 1987 and became another number-one hit from the album on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was performed a few times on Jackson's tours, and was most famously performed live at the 1988 Grammy Awards. Michael wrote the song at the request of his mother, Katherine, who wanted a song with a shuffling kind of rhythm." The music video for "The Way You Make Me Feel", directed by Joe Pytka, depicts Michael Jackson chasing a woman (Tatiana Thumbtzen) across the street. They return with friends across the street. She then begins to lead him on. Michael successfully woos her with his complicated dance techniques. The video ends with an embrace. There are two versions of the video, the edited version, which runs for 6:43, and the original version, which runs for 8:56. On March 27, 2006 "The Way You Make Me Feel" was re-released as part of the Visionary - The Video Singles package; the original 8:56 version was included in the 2001 re-release on DVD of the Video Greatest Hits - HIStory. Jackson's sister Latoya Jackson is also featured in the video.
Bad Album: Bad is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987 by Epic/CBS Records, nearly five years after his previous studio album, Thriller, which went on to become the world's best-selling album ever. Bad itself went on to sell over 32 million copies worldwide, and shipped eight million units in the United States alone. It is the first, and currently only, album ever to feature five Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles. This album saw Jackson have even more freedom over his album than he did with the two previous albums, Off the Wall and the world's best selling album of all time, Thriller, as he wrote and composed 9 of the album's 11 tracks, and co-wrote and produce another; "Man in the Mirror". The album, which saw the squeaky-clean pop idol adopt a street-tough image, continued Jackson's commercial success in the late '80s and won two Grammys, one for Best Music Video - Short Form for Leave Me Alone, and one for Best Engineered Album - Non Classical. Bad was ranked number 43 in the 100 Greatest Albums of All Time of the MTV Generation in 2009 by VH1. It was ranked number 202 in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
