Michael Jackson was a gift from GOD for our listening pleasure. He and Stevie Wonder were both gifts from GOD and unsurpassed by any other singers. Stevie Wonder is the best bc he not only had a beautiful voice but could play so many instruments; so I guess he is the greatest of all.
I'm so grateful to have grown up in an era where this level of genius was what made you a Superstar, and not gimmicks, scandal, or simple popularity. This was organic talent. Today's talent comes from microprocessors and software and is promoted by people who don't know music or have a standard of excellence to follow.
Oh my word! This is phenomenal! His tone, pitch and the way he’s vocally emoting the lyrics. It sounds better than the final version which is awesome itself. I miss the magic that is Michael Joseph Jackson.
I had to listen to this over and over again! I listened to Michael’s singing. Then the piano. Then the bass. Then the drums. All separately. Pure artistry all around! Couldn’t listen to this masterpiece just once!
@@mcclendonreport totally mate, it's a great album. I used to work in a thrift shop a while ago any this young lassie came into the shop wearing a red leather jacket, white t-shirt, balk trousers, white socks and slip on shoes, she must of been 13 or 14. The first thing I asked was what's your favourite song was, knowing full well what her answer was going an MJ song. She came out with a few off of thriller, and the bad album. She never knew about off the wall, the next week she was like wow! Only great song sound good no matter when you hear them.
The finished version is on his “Off The Wall” Album…. The demos never get released as it’s the creative beginnings of a song usually with mistakes and incomplete lyrics and other musical instrumentation… As in this version there is no background vocals or guitars…. Nonetheless this is a beautiful raw look into the creative aspect of this song…..😊
Off The Wall remains one of my absolute favorite albums of all time. Sonically just genius in terms of mixing, space and separation of music elements, writing in which the album spans genres with inflections of funk,jazz,ballads,pop, and at the same time the music just feels so organic and brimming with newbie energy. Well produced & a bonafide juggernaut that smokes whether you are driving in your car and pull up next to another car blasting this album or you’re listening to it while working out at the gym. 40 plus years later and still these tracks smack at a party, dance or gathering where music is being dispensed. The rhythm section is purely a slice of heaven on this earth and these session players were assembled because of what they brought individually to the table. The planets aligned on this one to give us some of the best music ever and I will be forever thankful for the music given to us by MJ & everyone that had a hand in creating it.
The 'Off the Wall' album is so fabulous and a classic due to the brilliant songwriters/arrangers such as Rod Temperton, producer/arranger Quincy Jones, and the talented session musicians. It's ridiculous that MJ gets the credit (along w/ Quincy) but people ignore the others. Rod Temperton (my favorite songwriter) was a major contributor to the success of MJ's solo albums. 🎶 This Stevie Wonder song is one of ny all-time favorites.
Maybe he gets the credit because it was his album?? All the MJ fans I know are aware that Rod Temperton wrote a lot of the hits and he was a fantastic songwriter, so I disagree with your comment.
Listening to this really brings to mind that we will never have another voice or entertainer like Michael Jackson. He was definitely the king of not only pop, but R&B a true entertainer. I’m glad that I grew up in the area to have witnessed Michael Jackson wish he was still with us.
One of my favorite MJ songs! - But hey, I'm Aldo a keyboardist, who absolutely loved the music of, and was hugely influenced by Mr. Stevie Wonder! He is truly one of our few remaining legends! So let's give him his 💐 while he's still with us! MJ & Stevie, Pure Magic! 😎
Recently, finally, gratefully learned to play this on piano and it puts me in a euphoric loop of beautiful chords and rhythms.. I love the gliding bass line and the jazzy chords. I cant stop playing it and it’s one of those tunes you don’t mind getting stuck in your head all day. It’s got this incredibly positive vibe. Thank you Stevie, thank you Michael and thank you Quincy for this beautiful piece of music.
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ Salute to the one and only King Of Pop Michael Jackson 🙏🏾 This is one of my favorite songs to play in my lowrider. I'm really feeling this version.
I'm honored and proud to say I was alive when this song was released. It was a great time to be alive and carefree. ❤ I sure do miss those days. I now understand why old folks would listen to the classics. Memories....
It was wonderful to hear this version of an old favorite. I always loved this song but never heard this version. It’s clear the Stevie Wonder influence on the piano and it’s jazzy beats are just ❤❤❤
This was a natural choice to sing 🎤 this song from The great Stevie Wonder;especially the way Michael sings with the runs like Stevie does !! Awesome 👏
Looking in my mirror Took me by surprise I can see I want you You’re running often thru my mind -- Sensual disguise I’m so glad I found you You’re an angel in disguise I can’t help it if I wanted to I wouldn’t help it even if I could I can’t help it if I wanted to I couldn’t help it no
Um age makes 0 difference. I discover great music by looking for it. This being one of my faves from his album and I’m 40. I can stretch as far back as 50s music. Thanks to my elders!
When you get to see the donuts being made , they taste so much better, like it's sensory elevation , It's like taking a stethoscope and listening to a heartbeat _ I now have a new appreciation for the final cut, very special magic

This sound like if MJ did a ‘Tiny Desk Concert’…
what could have been 😔🙌🏾…
Great comment.
Boy do I love this song thank you Stevie Wonder for writing this Song oh such meanining❤❤😊
Omg, so true!
Man imagine Whitney, Michael or Prince doing a tiny desk concert. Lawd what we missed due to drug addiction
Yup💯
Michael’s voice is an instrument in and of itself.
💯💯💯👍👍👌👌👏👏👏🌅💐
💯% Facts!
I remember hearing this song as a child…I’m 45 years old now. Loved this song!! But then again, always loved Stevie and Michael my life!!!💕💕💕💕
It's a drum!!! #JamesBrown
@spettaway1 That part!
To be sure, Mike’s demos sound better than 99% of records made over the last 20 years. Let’s be honest. Here’s the difference. Mike wasn’t fronting.
Phax
Done SAID
Not auto tuned. Audio by God.
@@MizzNee796. Mikey could be-bop & scat an entire song and it would sound better than 90%+ of these modern 2020's "singers."
Michael Jackson was a gift from GOD for our listening pleasure. He and Stevie Wonder were both gifts from GOD and unsurpassed by any other singers. Stevie Wonder is the best bc he not only had a beautiful voice but could play so many instruments; so I guess he is the greatest of all.
When you hear him like this you realize how much you miss him. Breaks my heart.
Me Too. He was sooooooooo precious 💞
U couldn't be more right. But he will always be with us through his music❤
Yes 😢😢😢
Indeed.
When I hear him like this I realize how much more talented he is after hearing the finished product which makes me miss him more.
I like this version alot. You can hear and feel the emotion in his voice
Indeed! ❤🎉
Absolutely 😊
MY HEART!! I'M HEARING THE PRECURSOR OF THE STYLING & PHENOMENAL VOCALS THAT MICHAEL GAVE US WITH "BUTTERFLIES".
THIS MAN SAAANGGGG🤌🏾🤌🏾
🥰🔥🎶
As always 🌸
No one can mess with young Michaels voice.
No one can mess with old Michael’s voice either! 🎤♥️🤩
I agree what a genius ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@kimowilliams7032100%
His voice give me goosebumps. The talent he holds… 🥺❤️
Amazing
Same here❤🥰
Same. What a beautiful voice.❤
Michaels falsetto is immaculate!
Better than Phillip’s! The best falsetto I’ve heard this side of the opera
@@kengozin Easy, easy! 😅😅😅
Yes Michael sounds great on this demo, but I’m really listening to those piano, drums, and bass! Love these early takes!
Same the bass and drums are ridiculous…❤😊
Mike is chilling on this. Lyrics aren’t even enunciated clearly. You can tell this is a pure jam sesh
Who's playing drums
@@ramarakeshvi think it's John Robison

Totally agree! We're so lucky indeed...
Agreed.
Well said Scott! I must repost your comment (if you don't mind).
@@miabrannon6709 I don't mind at all. Great minds think alike. ☺️
15 years since he left us and Michael still continues to mesmerize ✨✨
You mean 15 yrs since they took him out
@@mrsoserious6534 right!
Oh my word! This is phenomenal! His tone, pitch and the way he’s vocally emoting the lyrics. It sounds better than the final version which is awesome itself. I miss the magic that is Michael Joseph Jackson.
Michael Joe* Jackson
Damn this is better than the album version
Agreed
I agree 100%
Yup!
Facts
Yes! You can MJ's range much better. The high, low tones and falsetto ❤
One genius wrote a beautiful masterpiece for another genius...Love them both Stevie & Michael ❤
I had to listen to this over and over again! I listened to Michael’s singing. Then the piano. Then the bass. Then the drums. All separately. Pure artistry all around! Couldn’t listen to this masterpiece just once!
Piano, drums, bass guitar and Michael. Instant Classic!!! The way I prefer to hear a song.
That falsetto 😊…Oh yeah… Simply beautiful!
This is a jam. Shoulda been released as a single.
The industry was/is clueless about our gifts.
It was released as the B-Side of "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough".
Wasn't it on Off the Wall album?
@@b00ts4ndc4ts of course it was, but the industry was/is clueless.

It's pretty amazing how much recording he did for his albums. All the demo versions are great to discover all these years later.
That piano is off the chain! ❤️‼️💯
Raw and uncut by M.J. ...I LOVE IT!!!
3:29 when the Falsetto kicks in is the best part. That's the one of the best things I loved about Disco Music, that voice
This isn't a disco song. Lol
@@kamalaswallows2024thank you! 😂
@@khayeelwilson-el5370 It was in the Disco Era.
@@Moes_Prep_and_Tech …so was heavy metal!
That voice…Such a tragedy. He should still be here watching Usher and Chris….watch him.

1:43 That run was just crazy!!!!😮
Not a damn thing Michael couldn't do!
This demo version is awesome 💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stevie Wonder is a brillant writer and producer Micheal Jackson king of pop always ❤ Quincy Jones is the man😊
WHO ELSE IS HERE IN 2024 TOO
I'm here!!! This demo and the p.y.t one are my favourites
Has Stevie written all over it ❤😂 what a wonderful collaboration 🎉
And the tears drop as I listen to this masterpiece in the making.
This is so beautiful it makes you want to cry. All the feels. I mean all of them. ❤❤
What a beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

RIP Michael Jackson🥹❤️
He is still sorely missed.🫂❤️🙏🏾
I’m so glad I found this version. A whole vibe takes me back. I love it 💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖
Already great enough with Michael's voice, but then the band was killing it. Oh gosh! 😩😍
Yesss! Breathiness. Vibrato. Falsetto. Bangin! Michael was so smooth. 🔥 💯⭐️🙏🏽
Loved the album-version, but this might be even better.

Temperton was English, and never received the acclaim that he should have from the British, but that is often the way it goes for their most talented.
He was special. I love his music and him.
This version needs to be released. This is freaking amazing.
His voice sounds and cadence is just like Stevie’s! I never noticed that before 😳
The feels….No one like him in the whole world wide. That vocal run was amazing 😮
Listening to this really brings to mind that we will never have another voice or entertainer like Michael Jackson. He was definitely the king of not only pop, but R&B a true entertainer. I’m glad that I grew up in the area to have witnessed Michael Jackson wish he was still with us.

He has the best demos ever!!
Oh my god! This version is fire! His falsetto is amazing. I miss Michael J so much...
Great Demo!! Sounds like
Louis Johnson on bass too!
RIP, Michael Jackson &
Louis Johnson 🙏🏾💙
When REAL MUSIC ruled! So honored to have been around for this era
Recently, finally, gratefully learned to play this on piano and it puts me in a euphoric loop of beautiful chords and rhythms.. I love the gliding bass line and the jazzy chords.

All that dissonance is so badass
I love this version! ❤
Wow the voice as an instrument ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful song. Written by Stevie Wonder.

Very nice! That's one of my favorite songs from the Off The Wall album! That whole album is a timeless masterpiece! 🙌🏽🎶❤️❤️❤️
I feel sorry for the people under 50 because they never got to experience this Mike. The best Mike ❤❤❤

The purity of this has left me speechless and a little watery eyed....😪
