The Weeknd, has definitely had one of the best start to 2016, with an Oscar nomination for the song 'Earned It' which features in the film 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'

Next month Sony Legacy Recordings are gearing up for the release of a special edition of Michael Jackson’s seminal album Off the Wall. Fans will be able to celebrate the original version of the 1979 album and look forward to a brand new documentary, Michael Jackson’s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall, directed by the legendary Spike Lee.

The documentary will air February 5 on Showtime, and will include interviews with Pharrell, Mark Ronson, John Legend, L.A. Reid, and Kobe Bryant. The trailer features amazing footage of Michael Jackson during his Off the Wall in September 1981 and also features The Weeknd speaking about Michael's influence.. 'I always use Michael as, first and foremost, a vocal inspiration, and Off the Wall was definitely the one that made me feel like I could sing. I found my falsetto because of Off the Wall, ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.'

Michael Jackson’s Journey from Motown to Off the Wall premieres January 24.
