I read this recently: Stevie played it and Michael said "I love it. What is it? When are you putting it out?" and Stevie said "I wrote it for you." Michael said I was so happy. 🙏
Gabri Cavallaro I feel like Michael made so many different songs from different genres so everyone’s taste is different and he has a songs that some might find more appealing than others, lets just say he’s versatile and he’s a king for a reason no need to compete on which song is the best cuz they not even close genre wise 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you Quincy Jones for stretching MJ to his fullest potential. He was the most versatile vocalist of that time who could master so many musical genres.
Stevie also wrote Its A Shame by The Spinners. Throughout Stevie´s evolution with music whenever he wrote for artist that was the style he using at the time. So the stuff from the 60´s 70´s 80´s all reflect that.
I just listened to the Stevie version man both are good versions. Mike just had that twang on the song for me. But I love both versions of the song 2💯🔥🔥❤
Imo, Pharrell described this song in the best way possible on the Off The Wall documentary, “It sounds like a beautiful evening in the paradise. A place somewhere that’s untainted by the humans. A mystical world where unicorns walking by.”
I purchased this album in 1979 and it is still in my possession and will be until my daughter inherits it!! I'm the same age as Michael. How lucky can a man be to be have the greatest entertainer of all time as the soundtrack to his life! Thanks for everything Michael!!🥰
I have 8 crates of albums. My kids don't understand why the seventies are the greatest decade of music. I might just give to someone who would enjoy the era.
The decorative nuances and breathing embellishments act as if some sort of punctuation to the melody. Relishes locked into the rhythm so incredibly fantastic it’s like its natural sounding or as you suggested ‘pure’. It’s sparse enough to be minimalist yet in a sophisticated enough manner to be undeniably recognizable as his own sound. I find it interesting to hear other musicians sing the same songs as him and while there’s plenty who can really sing and arguably equally ‘pure’, I haven’t heard anyone apply what Michael does that takes R&B or Pop songs to the epitome of what’s possible vocally. I’m not a singer but I can appreciate the guy definitely has developed this ‘instrument’ called voice to what became a timeless and universally enjoyable celebrated experience that I doubt will ever be forgotten by mankind. Bach like status if ya know what I mean. People be diggin this 300, 3000 to 30,000 years from now I can totally imagine.
IKR! Off The Wall is really a great album and I just can't wait his next albums. I smell he's gonna be one of the greatests in the history of human race.
Actually Thriller was the album he was hungry on. With this album he only won 2 Grammys and he was pissed. So he was determined to go all out next time.
Not my absolute favourite song, but it's up there - mainly because it was written by Stevie Wonder so it's crazy imagining the journey of this song to eventually land on this Album (which IS my favourite of his his)
This sounds like Mike was in love with a highly beautiful, magical, intelligent being from another dimension...the concentration of melodic frequencies and poetic expression of human love says it all
This is the PERFECT song to just play in all your solitude. In the dark, on a couch, looking out the window, this classic, your thoughts, and a beverage is picture perfect .
Looking in my mirror Took me by surprise I can't help but see you Running often through my mind Helpless like a baby Sensual disguise I can't help but love you It is getting better all the time I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it even if I could I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it, no I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it even if I could I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it, no Love to run my fingers Softly while you sigh Love came and possessed you Bringing sparkles to your eyes Like a trip to heaven Heaven is the prize And I'm so glad I found you You're an angel in disguise I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it even if I could I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it, no I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it even if I could I can't help it if I wanted to I wouldn't help it, no
Honestly I'm bummed Michael didn't have this released as a single. It would have hit #1...I can imagine a great video for it. This was the perfect jam to release in the early 80s
I understand a lot of neo soul songs sampled this.. but this song was like a blueprint to neo soul. It was so ahead of it time. It sounded like It was made in 2002
Yes this song could have easily been on the Invincible album 20plus years later. This song is an precursor to Neo Soul because most of the Neo Soul artist were extremely influenced by Stevie Wonder. Maxwell sound comes from from the Off the Wall album in my opinion
RIP Michael Jackson man, music is timeless. I’m only 23 I remember cry at like 7 years old cuz I heard the news he passed at that time. Was too young to understand but now I’m older I understand why😭😭his music just hits the soul. Would’ve gotten more music from him 😢
This is one of those songs that lingers after it's over and kind of hints that you should play it again, so you do and again and again. RIP MJ. You left a legion of fans behind.
@@enriqueeloycaballerochurat4982 Don't ever Call him Jacko ? Do u know the history behind this name ? If don't then must know. MJ Hated this derogatory nickname given by Tabloids 👹
Everything in this song is exquisite: the soft down tempo of the drums, the meandering and hipnotizing notes of the bass, the majestic and eery keyboards and, above & beyond sublime, Michael's perfectly tuned and sweet voice. Love you forever Michael
@Caydi Indeed, my use of the word "collaboration" was incorrect. I will say, I prefer "Get It" since Stevie wrote and produced that song himself, unlike "Just Good Friends"
When you are young you don't understand the value of things. When you grow up you look at them again and you can recognize that they are true works of art.

[Verse 2] the background music is spectacular. Specifically when he gets the the line "Like a trip to heaven.." Damn the production value is off the charts!!
This is the best artist in all of history Michael would love his fans to the point where he would let them kiss him every new style of pop and artist will never live up to the name Michael Jackson R.I.P Michael Jackson and let your name never be forgotten.
I remember my parents buying this album when we actually had to go to a record store 😂. 1979 a precursor to the greatest decade music has ever seen. Miss those simple days ❤. Thanks Mike for bringing me joy as a young teen.🙏💪💯🇬🇧🇹🇹

[Verse 2] the background music is spectacular. Specifically when he gets the the line "Like a trip to heaven.." Damn the production value is off the charts!!
