“Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” was the first short film of Michael Jackson’s solo career, filmed in 1979 for the No. 1 hit single from ‘Off the Wall.’
“Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” directed by Nick Saxon, was the jumping off point for the elaborate and groundbreaking “short films” Michael would go on to create throughout his career.
Written & Composed by Michael Jackson Produced by Quincy Jones for Quincy Jones Productions Co-Produced by Michael Jackson for MJJ Productions, Inc. From the album Off the Wall, released August 10, 1979 Released as a single July 10, 1979
THE SHORT FILM Director: Nick Saxon
Although all of Michael Jackson’s music videos are referred to as short films, the short films for Off the Wall, Michael’s first solo album for Epic Records, are more classic “music videos,” as they are performance clips rather than scripted stories. Michael’s short film for “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” was the first of the three short films produced for recordings from that album.
“That song means a lot to me because it was the first song I wrote as a whole,” Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. “‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’ was my first big chance, and it went straight to Number One. It was the song that won me my first Grammy. Quincy had the confidence in me to encourage me to go into the studio by myself, which I appreciated.”
The short film featured Michael in performance against a dazzling background of geometric shapes and patterns. Wearing a tuxedo similar to his outfit on the Off the Wall album cover, Jackson sings and dances to the song, at one point even dancing with two other clones of himself, achieved through the magic of special effects.
