EATEN ALIVE


Song written by Michael with Barry and Maurice Gibb – two of the
Bee Gees.

Originally written, and registered in March 1985, by Barry and Maurice
Gibb. Michael heard their demo and felt it needed something else;
Barry offered to share credit with Michael, if he wanted to supply what
he thought was missing. Michael agreed and a second demo – recorded
by Michael – was registered in July, with the note, ‘words and music in
the choruses have been completely rewritten’.

Both demo versions, recorded in Los Angeles, remain unreleased.
Recorded by Diana Ross in mid 1985 in Los Angeles, with Michael and
the Gibb brothers on backing vocals, for her album of the same title,
issued in September 1985.

Produced by Michael with Barry Gibb, Karl Richardson and Albhy
Galuten. Michael was present during the recording of the instrumental
tracks, and judged whether they were suitable by dancing to them in the
studio. He also supervised the mixing, settling on one that Galuten
wasn’t too happy with.

Performed by Diana at the American Music Awards in 1986.
Issued as a single: charted at no.10 on the R&B singles chart and no.77
on the Hot 100 in the States, and no.71 in the UK.

Official Versions:
Album Version. Instrumental.
Extended Remix. Single Version Edited.

Michael was also the godfather of Barry Gibb's son. He was very good friends with the Gibb brothers.

This is what Barry wrote on his website when Michael died:

"Michael was my friend, the only recording artist I truly knew and who truly knew me. He was the Godfather to my son Michael. We have lost a dear member of our family, we are devastated. Michael you will live forever in our hearts. Fly away butterfly take it to your journeys end. We will always love you."

And he put up some pics too: http://www.barrygibb.com/media/MJ/index.html
