    Good marketing and lucky timing. He benefited greatly from the rise of MTV and music videos. With his talents for music and dance, he was the right person at the right time to really take off. His music videos were good.

    And his PR people did fantastic work marketing him. Whoever convinced Disney to make the Captain EO ride at Disneyland was a genius.

      I fucking loved Captain EO. Such insanity and catchy music and dance moves all blended in this 80s dystopian wild ride.
