LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s “Off the Wall” is being reissued with a new Spike Lee documentary about the hallmark 1979 album.
Jackson’s estate and publisher Sony Music are rereleasing the 36-year-old album with a DVD of the film “Michael Jackson’s Journey from Motown to ‘Off the Wall'” on Feb. 26.
The documentary will premiere Jan. 24 at the Sundance Film Festival and will be broadcast Feb. 5 on Showtime.
“Off the Wall” featured the hits “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” and “Rock with You.”
