Should Michael Jackson have followed the path laid by "Lady In My Life"?

[Dave24]

Just listen to these songs, pure greatness:












For me "Lady In My Life" is the funkiest, most musical (& underrated), slow burner created by MJ/Rod Temperton. His vocals on this track where pure magic, & he also showed a feeling for great ad-libbing towards the end of that track! After "LIML" he could have chosen to be the most successful R&B/Jazz vocalist in the world, similar to Anita Baker. I checked out that Anita Baker thread...greatness!!!

I'm so frustrated not knowing how great he could have been producing a couple of more, strictly R&B albums with slammin' musicians.

Have you ever wondered how it would have sounded if MJ made his "Rapture" (Anita Baker) album, or something similar in the jazz/R&B vein?

He might not have been the greatest pop star if he did, but I think he would have left a greater legacy behind him.

 

[Way Of The Gun]

One of MJ's most UNDERRATED songs in his career..this was smooth and fluid.

[DaRealness]

Lady In My Life is his best song ever imo...I prefer the longer version.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

That's why when Trae and them sampled it for Swang, I lost my damn mind....



A damn good song and even songs that sample it sound good.

Most definitely.

It would have kept him out of legal trouble if he meant the lyrics of this song instead of playing with little boys.
