ANOTHER DAY
Song Lenny Kravitz confirmed in an interview in Blender magazine he
had been working on with Michael – failed to make the final track
listing of Michael’s album, INVINCIBLE.
‘Working with Michael Jackson was probably the best recording
experience of my life,’ said Kravitz. ‘He was totally cool, absolutely
professional and a beautiful, beautiful guy – and let’s not forget,
Michael is a musical genius.’
Remains unreleased.
BEHIND THE MASK
Song written by Chris Mosdell and Ryuichi Sakamoto, with additional
lyrics by Michael.
Original instrumental version, with choral backing, recorded by the
Yellow Magic Orchestra, for their 1979 album, SOLID STATE
SURVIVOR. Quincy Jones heard Yellow Magic Orchestra’s version
during the Thriller sessions, and brought it to Michael’s attention.
‘I didn’t know who Michael Jackson was – I wasn’t into that whole
soul disco stuff,’ confessed Chris Mosdell. ‘When Michael Jackson
recorded it, he also added an extra melody line and a few extra lyrics,
so they wanted to split the royalties – which is quite impossible. You
can’t take a Beatles song and add a melody line, a few more lyrics, and
ask for fifty percent.’
Legal battles meant Michael’s version didn’t make his THRILLER
album and remains unreleased.
Michael’s keyboardist, Greg Phillinganes, did record a version for his
album, PULSE, issued in 1985. Released as a single, it achieved no.77
on the R&B singles chart in the States, but failed to make the Hot 100
and wasn’t a hit in the UK.
Phillinganes first met Michael and his brothers during the sessions for
the Jacksons’ DESTINY album in 1978, and went on to serve as musical
director for Michael’s Bad World Tour.
Phillinganes, who also played with his band, brought the song to Eric
Clapton’s attention. Clapton’s cover version, on which Phillinganes
played keyboards and sang backing vocals, hit no.15 in the UK in 1987.
This version, curiously, failed to credit Michael as one of the song’s cowriters
– but Chris Mosdell has confirmed Michael does takes 50% of
the song-writing royalties.
MUCH TOO SOON
Song Michael wrote circa 1981, and cited by him in his court
disposition in November 1993 – remains unreleased.
Believed by some fans to be an early version of Gone Too Soon –
unconfirmed.
WAY YOU LOVE ME, THE
Song written and recorded by Michael between 2000 and 2004,
included on his box-set, THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, issued in
November 2004.
