I dont know if its on any album but it was originally recorded for a promo ad for the Disney theme parks sometime in the mid 80's. I love this version. Its my favorite. He puts so much feeling into the song. U just want to listen to it over and over. razz

I remember downloading it from Kazaa about 2 years ago but I dont illegally download anymore. You could try there if you really gotta have it. smile

It's from Disneylands 25th Anniversary TV special in 1980. He performed a medley of When You Wish Upon A Star/Follow The Yellow Brick Road/Ease On Down The Road alongside Mickey, Donald, Pluto and Goofy etc.

You can find the video at http://www.mjsfc.com/vb/index.php? in the Mutlimedia section. you have to sign up and leave a response before you can download the file, which is bit of a pain, but if you want a trip... It's worth it! lol

Captain Eo is also there, as is a Diana Ross Special featuring Mike from around the same time.

take that offer! It´s really cool. One of my all time favorite MJ documents
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

My grandparents taped this for me when it first came on and I would watch it everyday. The performances were great. All MJ fans would love this documentary.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
