I love this song. I can visualize how the music video and stage performance of this track could have gone down. It probably would have been similar in vein to Smooth Criminal but with more of a Broadway touch. Perhaps in a Black and White footage as well similar to how MJ would have introduced Smooth Criminal in This Is It. As for the role MJ himself would have done in the video. The thing I can imagine is him being an observer who is visiting the sights where these events happened and trying to uncover the mystery of Chicago Night or something to that effect.
Such an amazing song!!😍😍 It sucks that leaks happen but I know that if the producer who owns this track released it I would buy 10 copies. People say leaks like this devalue the song but I disagree. Hearing this just makes me more desperate to get the real thing. Please, estate, do something!!!
OMG I really just listened to Chicago 1945?! 🤤 The legendary song Chicago 1945?!🥺 It's been 30 years since we heard that song. The most fantasized about unreleased track by the fans. Finally! I can now die in peace. 😍
He wrote this with one of the Porcaro brothers way back in the 80s and considered it for Bad and even Invincible but it never made the cut which is amazing as its an amazing song. The estate wanted to include it on Xscape but the Porcaro brother refused as he was set against the estate re working it.
honestly he was right to say no, they would've ruined it with a rework but at least with the xscape album they included the originals too so it wouldn't have been that bad, shame it's unreleased
This version of "Chicago 1945" should be from the "Bad" album sessions (1985 - 1987). The thing I find interesting is that there are other versions of the song yet to be heard. The first one is a complete rework produced in 1999 - 2001 by the legendary Rodney Jerkins for his "Invincible" album. The other version was created at Neverland in 2004. The latter reminds me of "Days In Gloucestershire" because that demo was recorded at Neverland in the same year, so I assume these are from the same sessions.

According to Julien's Auction, there was a 28 page treatment written for Moonwalker in 1988 titled "Chicago Nights". So, it's likely that this song was written recorded to be included in the film. The outfit he's wearing on the sketch reminds me of what he wore in the film. The black pin stripe suit with the overcoat.
Great great song but Al Capone wasn’t captured in 1945, nor was there a Worlds Fair held in Chicago that year, and Joe Dimaggio hit his first homer in ‘36😂
Omfg I’m in love with this song …..I just wish instead of “Chicago “ from “xcape” I wish this was on there that’s why I bought the xscape album but was sadly disappointed but its still a good album
@@Jiron127 it’s uptempo but the lyrics are dark and not all rain bows and sunshines i actually like songs like this with happy beats but when you listen to it more it has a different meaning
We’ll originally it was intended to be on Xscape after Michael passing, but from what Ik the story is that Sorcaro was approached by the estate about using it on Xscape, but declined to give permission on the basis that the song didn't need any "contemporizing", and that he disapproves of the estate's "straight to remix" approach to Michael's unreleased material.
@@Mister_Jay_Tee different versions were recored one in 83 or 84. This version the version your listening to was made in 1986 druing the bad era session. Making it a bad era song. And yet another version was made during the invincible era and again in 04 i think so yea theres alot of version of this song
Lol I love Chicago 1945 but if “ Chicago night “ would’ve been an actual movie I always in visioned it like a dick Tracy /swing kids type of feel to it …..but Chicago 1945 “ I do t know why but it reminds me of the opening title song of the film lol ……..but the order of the songs I’ve in visioned if Michael would’ve made it come to life would be 1( Chicago 1945) …..2 heartbreak hotel , loving you ( original version 1986) where Michael and Annie meet and goes on there few dates …….smooth criminal …….then al Capone (as Michael is trying to capture and defeats him as the end scene )
i’ve never understood some of mjs moves like why this didn’t make bad its way better then speed demon, another part of me , and just good friends in my opinion it sounds better then those songs but i guess maybe he thought it doesn’t fit the theme of the album but damn this is a great song
Con la filtración de Chicago 1945 y Dream Away, el Estate debería de tener en cuenta un futuro álbum con inéditas incluyendo estas canciones de manera oficial. Pero ya conocemos al Estate, y como siempre desaprovechando oportunidades 🤷🏻♀️
He'll naw... mj had song smooth criminal...alcapone...and Chicago 45.. these are all made the same year.. just different point of view... mj has other story songs like little Susie and heart break hotel...etc
What Prince song had this kind of orchestration especially for the 80s?? This song sounds ahead of its time and rightfully so, not really sure you understand how any of this works.
De sacarla, deberían ya que fueron dos filtraciones en un mismo día (junto con Dream Away) y pienso que eso los habrá inquietado. Pero conociendo al Estate no lo harán, ojalá me equivoque pero siempre desaprovechan las oportunidades que tienen 🤦🏻♀️

Better than "smoking and entertainment" that's for damn sure
Yeah, be sure of it! 🤣 that troll video xd
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember that
Ohhh Michael's aggressive and driving vocals are just amazing. This song could be a hit.
BROO why hasn't this been released in the 80s??!😭😭😭
He recorded this song in 1984, 1988 and in 2000, I belive this version is the 2000 version or 1988
Because Michael had _much_ stronger songs available? ...
Could have been a b side to smooth criminal
Mj recorded so many songs many not released
I think it's 2000 version. 2:01 this reminds me "Scream".
I want to cry, it's just a shame this incredible song never been released.
It's out, someone stole Michael's producer's laptop and they leaked this song in studio quality
I love this song. I can visualize how the music video and stage performance of this track could have gone down. It probably would have been similar in vein to Smooth Criminal but with more of a Broadway touch.

Well said. There’s nothing I want more than to have an official release of this song 🙏🏻
absolutely agree!! I would buy this song in an instant
Every duplication devalues an original.
The scarcer things are in life the more they're worth.
Man, this is one of the most difficult unreleased song to sing, the vocal here is just crazy.
Simply Amazing and so MJ! i love the Bad era sound here. You can really hear that
Thriller Era*
@@romaingarcin6584 it sound more like bad era
@@romaingarcin6584 this was recorded in 1986…
@@romaingarcin6584 It’s Bad era/session. The song is mentioned on page 437 in a book titled ‘Man In The Music’ by Joseph Vogel.
@@romaingarcin6584 it was worked on into the bad Era. We don't know if this is the first demo or the last demo made
The MJJ estate be real easing the wrong things! Recycled material! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!
Releasing*
I Need this in Bad 40th
OMG
I really just listened to Chicago 1945?! 🤤

Man all of the songs Michael did with them were 🔥🔥🔥 a very underrated collaboration.
i never comment on videos but this song just blew me away. this needs to be released now!!!!
I’m obsessed with this song!!!
This HAS to be released now, surely……..there’s nothing to hide anymore so no point keeping it from us.
Muito boa essa música. No dia que sair oficialmente remasterizado será incrível!!
A gem put away in the shelves but we can still enjoy this video of it 🤧
The video for this would have been incredible. 😫
Michael's voice is so magical

I believe It's actually from 1984,it was intended for the Victory Album.
Where have you heard these? You’re clearly familiar with them.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Sirens
Chicago, Chicago, Chicago!
Chicago
[Verse 1]
It was Chicago 1945
Cubs lost that year, but Al Capone was found alive
They searched forty days, in the suburbs of the night
But they found him, alive
Alive
Young Joe DiMaggio hit his first home run
People gathered 'round, basking in the sun
Three girls disappeared, on a cold windy night
[Pre-Chorus]
Never to be found again, never to be found again, so
[Chorus]
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
You can’t hide the truth, so won’t you turn on the light?
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
Never to be found again, never to be found again
Found again, never to be found again
Found again (Found again)
[Verse 2]
It was so windy, joy had to be in the air (Hee hee)
People gather ‘round to see the world's fair
It was so happy, but sad in the truth
So much is goin’ on
They didn’t know the girls were missing, missing
You can’t choose what they say, and nobody can (Hee hee)
‘Cause on the cover of the Chicago Tribune,
They featured the world's fair
They didn't bother, you know it is the truth (Hoo hoo)
[Pre-Chorus]
Never to be found again, never to be found again, so
[Chorus]
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
You can’t hide the truth, so won’t you turn on the light?
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
Never to be found again, never to be found again
Be found again, never to be found again
[Break]
Found again (Found again, hoo hoo!)
Never to be found again (Hoo hoo, Found again)
You can’t hide anything (Hee hee, found again)
Chicago, we love you! (Hee hee, found again)
You can’t find anything (Found again)
Chicago, ooh-ooh, baby (Found again)
Chicago, chicago (Found again)
Chicago, chicago
[Verse 3]
It was Chicago 1945
Cubs lost that year
But Al Capone was found alive
Searched forty days, in the suburbs of the night
So much was goin’ on
They didn’t know the girls were missing, missing
Can’t choose what they say, nobody can
'Cause on the cover of the Chicago Tribune
They featured the world’s fair
They didn't bother, though it is the scene (Hoo hoo)
[Pre-Chorus]
Never to be found again, never to be found again, so (Hoo hoo, hee hee)
(Tell me)
[Chorus]
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night? (Tell me)
You can’t hide the truth, so won’t you turn on the light?
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night? (Tell me)
Turn on the light (You can’t hide the truth, oh no)
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night? (Tell me)
You can’t hide the truth, but won’t you turn on the light?
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
You can’t hide the truth, we’ll make you turn on the light
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night? (Tell me, ooh-ooh)
Turn on the light (Hoo hoo, hee hee)
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night? (Chicago! You didn’t find anything)
Turn on the light
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
You can’t hide the truth, we’ll make you turn on the light
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
Turn on the light (You didn’t find anything, didn’t find anything!)
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night?
You can’t hide the truth, we’ll make you turn on the light
Who solved that mystery late Chicago night? (Hee hee, hee hee)
Chicago!
They should put out an EP with all versions of this, Al Capone and Smooth Criminal
Amazing song ! that's crazy they didn't release it
So catchy!!!
Absolutely brilliant. Maybe the best unreleased MJ I've heard.
The job you did editing this is incredible. Thank You!
Thanks for your comment! 🤩
OMGGG THIS IS AMAZING 😍
OMG THIS IS INSANE 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
It's sensational, they should have added it in Thriller 40. I love it 🖤
This is so catchy can’t stop replying it❤✨✨✨
there must remain about 150 unreleased songs of this quality or even much better than this one… but the estate Sucks
I WISH IT WAS RELEASED 😩
Essa música é tão boa, seria uma trilha sonora maravilhosa pra um filme
Was supposed to be on the JACKSONS victory album in 1984..
Written in 1982, with Steve Pacarro..
Ojalá la saquen oficial, es muy buena la canción!
Amazing miss Michael so mutch. Brings me back in time this sound.
This is very Gino Vanelli. Amazing.
Brilliance of the legendary King of Pop!! ❤️🙏🏻👏🏻
Man, we want a hi def release of this song
Finally!!! Chicago 1945!!!

AMAZING, AWESOME.. FANTASTIC AND MAGICAL. BELLISSIMO. SUPER. GRACIAS. MY NAME NATASHA. 💋💋💋💋💋
Now this is Chicago 1945!!
The Greatest of All Time
BRUTAL!
This song better be on Bad 40th if they make it
Why was this song never released?!?? This is gold
Great great song but Al Capone wasn’t captured in 1945, nor was there a Worlds Fair held in Chicago that year, and Joe Dimaggio hit his first homer in ‘36😂
maybe that's the reason it never got released 😆
that's why it's a fictional story
Maybe he was explaining what happened before 1945? :/
Ok you get the medal for being a d bag and ruining a moment
woooooow Awesome
Beautiful song
Como que nunca lanzaron esto nunca?
Secretly recorded during a seminar
O objetivo da propriedade era lançar em Xscape mas Steve Porcaro não liberou
it's like the song has been written and produced in the 00s you can't tell its the '80s
L❤VE THIS SONG
Omfg I’m in love with this song …..I just wish instead of “Chicago “ from “xcape” I wish this was on there that’s why I bought the xscape album but was sadly disappointed but its still a good album
The version on Xscape is actually more true to Chicago lol. Not this good, but up tempo version.
Me personally, I'm glad it wasn't. It would've had a techno remix that would've probably sounded like straight trash.
@@Jiron127 it’s uptempo but the lyrics are dark and not all rain bows and sunshines i actually like songs like this with happy beats but when you listen to it more it has a different meaning

i bought too, and i putted on trash with other album " Michael "
Why am I just finding this!!!!!!
Im hearing What have you done for me lately inspiration
Why in the hell has this song stayed on the selves
OMG
Tienes demasiado flow no te pases es buenísimaaa
Illégal recording to Paris
The fully mastered version recently leaked.
The horns!!!
Shame they never released this song, it would have been a hit
interresting
---- _Full song leaked online in LQ on November 13, 2022_ ---
Where ?
Can we start a petition for a official release I'm begging! 😫
This version seems to be sung during the Bad period.
This version is clearly from the Bad sessions. The estate would say it’s from Thriller probably.
It's from 1983. The song has leaked with the story behind it but no one even knows that. It was recorded a week after Thriller.
The thing with Michael Jackson he had different cadence of vocal approach. Ahead of the times
@@Mister_Jay_Tee different versions were recored one in 83 or 84. This version the version your listening to was made in 1986 druing the bad era session. Making it a bad era song.

Warum zu Recht? Musst es dir ja nicht anhören, wenn es dir nicht gefällt. Ich liebe das Lied
The Estate are not doing justice to MJs legacy. They are a disgrace.
I wish this got released or given to Kanye
Someone had stole mjs other tracks
i can tell he took inspiration from a lot of artists on this like definitely has a rock feel and even maybe sounds little inspired by prince
