WEEKEND VIDEO + SAT/SUN - 7/4-5/09
HOPE YOU HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY WEEKEND - I’M GONNA SPEND SATURDAY WITH MY ANNUAL VIEWING OF THE MOVIE “1776″. I THINK I WAS ONE OF 5 PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY THAT ACTUALLY SAW IT IN THE THEATRE WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN 1972. BIG FLOP, BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME. I’LL BE POSTINGN MORE THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND, SO I HOPE YOU’LL CHECK BACK. AND TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU BELOW THE BIRTHDAYS AND DEPARTURES.

THE JACKSON FIVE AS YOU’VE NEVER HEARD THEM BEFORE
YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD “I WANT YOU BACK” A THOUSAND TIMES,
I KNOW I HAVE. BUT HAVE YOU EVER HEARD IT WITHOUT THE BACKGROUND? JUST MICHAEL IN THE STUDIO SINGING LEAD WHILE LISTENING TO THE MUSIC TRACK THROUGH HIS HEADPHONES. CLICK IN THE LINK BELOW FOR AN AMAZING
TRACK THAT PUTS YOU IN THE MOTOWN STUDIO RECORDING BOOTH WITH MICHAEL JACKSON.
I’VE LEFT THE MUSICAL INTRO INTACT BUT ONCE MICHAEL STARTS SINGING ITS JUST HIS VOCAL.
I BET YOU’LL LISTEN TO THIS MORE THAN ONCE.

THANKS FOR CHECKING IN. I’LL HAVE MORE RECORDINGS OF MICHAEL IN THE STUDIO TO POST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK - AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS.
APPRECIATE IT.
