HISTORICAL DATES

1980- Michael releases the single "She’s Out Of My Life" from his "Off The Wall Album" Epic Records USA. She's Out of My Life" was the fourth single to be released from his 'Off the Wall Album, in 1979. It was the first time a solo artist had achieved four top ten hits from one album. Unlike the album's previous singles, which were dance-oriented funk/disco songs, "She's Out of My Life" was an emotional ballad. The song has a tempo of 66 beats per minute, making it one of Jackson's slowest songs. Jackson's vocals on the record were considered by critics to be some of his best. The demo version of the song, which features Jackson singing with a guitar, was released in the second disc of the album "This Is It" in 2009.
1988 - Michael Jackson performs the 3rd out of 3 BAD Tour concerts in Hartford, Conneticut, Civic Center.
