"Black Or White",
released on November 11, 1991, was picked as the first
single from Jackson's eighth studio album Dangerous (1991).
The song has elements of dance, hip hop and hard rock music
such as Bill Bottrell's guitars and Jackson's vocal style.
Epic Records described the song as 'a rock'n'roll dance song
about racial harmony'. The spectacular accompanying video
clip, directed by John Landis, became famous for its
morphing visual effects, created by Pacific Data Images.
This technique had been previously used only in movies such
as Willow and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. 'Black Or White'
topped the hitlists in many countries, like the United
States, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia, Italy,
Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland,
Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, and New
Zealand. |
