'Never Can Say Goodbye'

I love the jacksons version of this. I heard a rumour that michael recorded a version of this alone at the piano. Is this true? if so, is it obtainable?

Thanks

I already replied to your orgnote, but I forgot to mention the acapella duet version with LaToya from that 1984/85 interview in Encino lol

How on earth did you dig that thread up? lol Good song. I also like Gloria Gaynor's version. I could easily be mistaken, but what Clifton Davis originally not given credit for writing this song?

I heard the same thing. But then when Clifton was ready to sue Motown, Berry corrected that shit and gave him another shot at the J5. That became "Lookin' Through The Window" which was even better, I thought.

Issac Hayes did a version on either Black Moses or Hot Buttered Soul.

I like the Jackson 5's version but Issac Hayes kills it. His live version on Live At the Sahara Tahoe is damn good too.

I think he means no other Jackson version. Of course evryone knows the ones by Gloria Gaynor and The Communards.

Anyway, I mentioned earlier that Michael re-recorded it in 1989-1990 for that 'Deacde' album that got shelved.
