Jackie co-wrote (with Jack Wargo & Pamela Phillips-Oland) and arranged Playin' With Fire from Greg Phillinganes' 1984 album Pulse. The song appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Touch And Go released in 1986. On the same album, Greg recorded Behind The Mask, which Mike wrote lyrics to a 1979 Yellow Magic Orchestra song of the same name. Mike does background vocals on Greg's version. Greg also played keyboards on Eric Clapton's version released in 1986 (on the LP August) & Mike's version released in 2010 (on Michael). Shanice Wilson does ad libs on Mike's version. Greg has played on songs by The Jacksons, Mike, Jermaine, Janet, & Marlon and has toured with the brothers.

MickyDolenz said: Janet dances in Jermaine Dupri's 2005 video for Gotta Getcha and Mike (& other 1980s acts) appear in the 1984 video for L.A. Is My Lady by Frank Sinatra. George Benson is playing guitar. Another Jackson connection with George is Ola Ray was in the video for Give Me The Night before Thriller. I don't think Michael appears on LA is my Lady, it's a lookalike. However, LaToya makes a cameo appearance with Dean Martin. | |

The real Mike is standing with Frank around 2:50 of the video. You're probably talking about the gloved hand in the park. The body isn't shown, so that person does not really have to look like him.

Mike sang on Carole Bayer Sager's song Just Friends on her 1981 album Sometimes Late At Night. He recorded a song Carole wrote with David Foster (It's The Falling In Love) on Off The Wall. Carole released her version (with Michael McDonald on background) in 1978 on ...Too. Mike's 1979 version is a duet with Patti Austin. Patti remade a song (Let It Ride written by Jermaine, Gregory Williams {Switch}, & Michael McGloiry) from Jermaine's 1978 album Frontiers on her 1979 album Live At The Bottom Line. Patti also released Give It Up (written by Mike & Randy on Triumph from 1980) in 2011 on her album Sound Advice. Couldn't find the studio version on Youtube, but there's a 2014 concert video.
