Luv this! I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life. | |

The production on this is so Heartbreak Hotel-ish.
Michael was so into the spooky string sounds affirming that he actually was very instrumental in the producers chair. The same spook production is in Dirty Diana IMHO. | |

![]() ![]() .. [Edited 11/7/09 17:09pm] Did you hear about him being so jealous of Arne Næss marrying Diana he refused to go to the wedding AND Evan's christening? ![]() BTW, I wish he would've wrote more songs for other artists. I also wonder what other stuff did he do behind the scenes, like those background vocals on the Doobie Brothers tracks "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Yeah,he was a master at creating songs with a haunting feel.LaToya's "Nighttime Lover" and Rebbie's "Centipede" (both written and produced by MJ) are classic examples of this. | |

The funny thing as at the time i can remember alot of talk about the video being too hot for tv, wow how times have changed, this would be considered nothing today.

Have you seen Trey Songz' new video? If that gets played on TV, I'll be surprised... "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

'Fool For Your Love' anyone? ![]() "Fool For Love" is, by far, my favorite track on the "Silk Electric" CD! It's great the hear Diane stepping outside her Pop/Soul comfort zone and doing some hard-rock. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley
