Doh... No words about this song. It was sung by quite a few other artists, like Johnny Mathis, but Michael's version tops them, in my opinion. I like it that you can notice some vocal influences from Karen Carpenter and Mathis, artists whom he loved. ..
What a wistful song. The end gets me watery-eyed, it's so emotional, and the harmonica compliments Michael's voice perfectly, it seems to comfort his soul as well as the listener's. There was a man involved in the Jacksons' business, I believe called Sam Brown (I could be wrong) saying shortly after June 25 that Michael told him that he wanted 'One Day In Your Life' to be a song played at his funeral... If so, it's very sad that he didn't step in and tell the organizers to include this wonderful song. ...):
