Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" album is a fascinating record in that it presents the rare portrait of the future King of Pop as a hungry, humble artist out to prove himself as more than just a child star.

On this week's episode of Dad Rock, hosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan take a track-by-track look at "Off the Wall," featured this month in a Showtime documentary and a special album reissue.
