April 18, 1980 – “She’s Out Of My Life” was released as the fourth single from Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall solo album, peaking at #10 in June 1980 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song peaked at #3 in the UK. The single was Michael’s fourth Top 10 hit from the album, making Off The Wall the first release in U.S. history to reach that milestone. The first three Top 10 hits from the album were “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” “Rock With You,” and “Off The Wall.”
Michael would become emotional while performing “She’s Out Of My Life,” both in the studio and in live concerts, as shown in the documentary MICHAEL JACKSON’s Journey from Motown to Off The Wall, released in 2016 and directed by Spike Lee. Here is the short film for “She’s Out Of My Life.”
