What are the best contemporized songs on Farewell My Summer Love?
 
Actually ...i really liked this album.. and in the late summer of 92 i got hold of it ..

Melodie is my fave. It is very uplifting.

I woke up yesterday
Knowing I was lost in the past somewhere
I felt my destiny was a sad parade
Going nowhere
Then I saw my sweet Melodie (Melodie)
Like a song, you enchanted me
And the sound of your voice
Made my heart keep time
To the music of the love that filled my mind
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me
You're my only
Melodie, you're my everything
Make me wanna sing
For you only
Mmm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
What a sweet melody, mm-hmm
The long and winding road
Is much shorter now that you're here with me
The questions in my mind
Have been answered now, love has told me
All the colors are brighter now (brighter now)
And the darkness is lighter now (yeah, it's lighter now)
In my mind, I can hear the band start to play
Hello, tomorrow, goodbye yesterday
Melodie, you're my symphony
A love song to me
You're my only
Melodie, you're my everything
Make me wanna sing
For you only
Beautiful morning (beautiful morning)
Oh, happy day (oh, happy day)
And you know it's music to my ears
Every word that you say-ay-ay
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me
You're my only
Melodie, you're my everything
Make me wanna sing
For you only
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me
You're my only, only
Melodie, you're my everything
Make me wanna sing
For you only

But before when i was 'new' to him , in late 1991 .. my friend let me borrow that ffs https://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Jackson-Mix-Specially-Sequenced/dp/B000XE4QFS ...because i liked Farewell my summer love that much.
 
Touch the One You Love

This upbeat and catchy track highlights Michael's ability to infuse energy into his music. With its infectious rhythm and optimistic message, it's a song that still brings joy to listeners.

It's not about what's your favorite, but the most contemporized songs...whatever that means
 
Hm… it’s “best contemporized song” off of Farewell My Summer Love, but since they’re all contemporized (in varying degrees), it really is: best song on Farewell My Summer Love.

The contemporization then, of course, is about the later overdubs Motown made to the original recordings, in order for the songs to sound contemporary at the time of release.
 
If you’d ask me, I’d say the best song on Farewell My Summer Love is To Make My Father Proud.

(And it’s not even close!)

Edit: Moreover, I prefer them all in their original productions (that is, sans 1980’s overdubs).
