Attention MJ fans - I need help

I was leafing through the booklet for the Essential Michael Jackson CDs and noticed that "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "Leave Me Alone" were recorded "4-10/82," which means between April and October of 1982. Can this be? That would make them Thriller leftovers, which would kind of surprise me. Does anyone know if this is accurate, or perhaps the CD booklet has a typo.
Thanks in advance.

The thread title should read..... "Attention MJ Fans - YOU Need Help".

Good question. Not that I´m a big MJ fan but here´s what Wiki says about it:

"I Just Can't Stop Loving You" is a popular ballad by singers Michael Jackson and Siedah Garrett. It was recorded in 1982 but not released until 1987. Written and composed by Jackson, it was originally intended to be a duet between Jackson and his woman of choice: either Barbra Streisand or Whitney Houston.

Well that's a lie. Firstly his voice on Leave Me Alone is far different from anything he did in the early 80s. It changed a lot by 1986. Secondly Siedah Garrett was brought in in 1987 according to her and Quincy Jones. She'd never met MJ before that - and this picture is straight from the recording session of IJCSLY



It's a mis-print in the booklet.

It's a misprint. They made errors on the Ultimate Collection booklet too

Siedah Garrett herself has said she didn't present Man in the Mirror till 1987, she'd never met Michael before, and when she was presenting Man In the Mirror, Quincy asked her to do I Just Can't Stop Loving You. As Elie pointed out.

Yeah it was recorded in 1987.

I believe Liberian Girl was the first song written from the Bad album which was around 1984.

the booklet is full of date errors.

don't get me wrong, I looooove mj but I'm such an asshole too

alphastreet said:

But didn't you know, mj is the first and only known human being to man that manipulated his gene pool as a result of plastic surgery and vitiligo

honestly I don't care if they are his or not, he's raising them and as long as they turn out ok which I'm sure they will, I don't care for all that.

"All MJ fans are crazy, deluded and dumb... blah blah fucking blah"

Still, I'd rather be a loon than a cunt.

Well you keep showing up.

I've always been a weirdo and felt like a black sheep everywhere, so of course I was drawn to mj right away

I used to act like a weirdo about him too for ages like a stereotypical fan, but I've toned down a lot though I still love all his music from Big Boy to Thriller 25

I bet vainandy would have committed suicide if shitney was on the track, and he wanted barbara streisand too!!!

lmfao andy, I love the Bad album

alphastreet said:

she is totally right. Even though I don't relate to mj seriously like before, I've been there and I still feel something towards him. I took it so personally when people were mean about him but now I just laugh along, cause it's not healthy to get so uptight over someone I don't really know.

It was so nice to see someone amazing with that talent and convincing myself that if famous people can be mocked and teased too and still do their thing, I can handle everyday situations too.
