Michael Jackson Backing Tracks
The music world lost one of its biggest stars yesterday, Michael Jackson.
Personally I wasn’t a big Michael Jackson fan. However I am a fan of high quality, well produced, creative music.
I also admire live performers with great talent…and they don’t come much more talented than Michael Jackson.
I have spoken to many fellow entertainers who attended Michael Jackson concerts and even those who, like me, were not big MJ fans when they went in to the concert, they were definite fans when they came out. Such was the sheer exhileration of his live performances.
The songs Michael Jackson wrote were, like all good pop music, always topical and reflected their time. They were well written and well constructed songs with strong lyrics and catchy hooklines.
They were also incredibly well produced.
As a life-long admirer of Quincy Jones, the production on the Michael Jackson albums was nothing short of astounding. I was in my early twenties during the eighties so those incredible songs plus Quincys jazz influenced funk riffs and cutting edge synthesizer sounds will remain with me forever.
Michael Jacksons personal life was another matter and I’m sure everyone has their own views on that subject (I know I do).
But I’m a musician and a singer, and as such, I recognize and acknowledge his great talent.
Some say his career was all but over and his best song writing days were far behind him. But with true talent verging on genius, you just never know what someone like Michael Jackson may come up with next musically.
Sadly, now the music world will never know….
