The ironic thing is, Paul had written this with Michael in mind. In fact, the version on "London Town", Paul says that he was trying to imitate Michael. I love both versions, but I wish Michael had kept the part about the "river flowin' that was in Paul's version.

It makes me want to hear the outtakes because the album itself is so good. Getting the demo to She's Out Of My Life last year was cool cool

Exactly! I fell in love with this song from the first moment I heard it. The melody is amazing...Mj's vocal is contagious.

I rarely listen to this song, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

My favourite of the album is Can´t Help It. That´s a perfect song.

I really dug Patti and Michael doin' their thing on "..Falling In Love". It's one of the last really great soul duets. Patti and Mike had great musical chemistry, and they really should've done another cut on her "Every Home Should Have One" album.
