Diana Ross--EATEN ALIVE

One of her underrated tracks from the '80s, I think, and as a bonus there's MJ singing backup. The video is a howl too (pardon the pun).

I love the song.

Yep, it's from the Eaten Alive album which was released 5 years after the Bee Gees were hot producers lol. It did include the classic Chain Reaction though!

From what I've read, Barry and Maurice Gibb wrote it, and when Michael heard a demo of it, he decided the chorus needed to be re-written, hence his songwriting credit.

It was originally written as a "Bee Gees" song but the was later re-written by Michael & Barry ,n' produced for Diana, but I've heard that there's a michael demo 4 the song out there some where

It's an okay song, Michael's background vocals are what I enjoy best about this song to be honest.

"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart
