Yes you are correct. He was both a nutcase and a phenomenal talent that mainly shone through in a single incredible album in 1982.

“In just over a year, Thriller became—and currently remains—the best-selling album of all time. Sales are estimated to be between 47–109 million copies sold worldwide. Seven of the album's nine songs were released as singles, and all reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammys. “

Well said! I've always thought it ironically tragic that incredibly talented people seem to have such fated feet of clay. It was the same with Elvis. I suppose the muses need a price for musical stardom. Sad!
