Yeah, he tried getting “I’m Dreamin’” onto one of his albums and the estate shut him down. Which I find totally justifiable seeing that he went out of his way to slam MJ’s posthumous releases for years before and after.
That was over 10 years ago, and nothing since. But it means he can cave, in the right circumstances.
for which songs?
He said in an interview he was listening to the vocals of I'm Dreamin, so he must have at least some of them.
Yes but it depends on the Song. I'm Dreaming isn't one.
I believe it was Buffalo Bill, Make Or Break, and Alright Now.
Wrong thread?
Here are a few
Sounds to me like only Ralph recorded it.Has Bill Bottrell ever been asked about Alright Now? I wonder if he dislikes that one, too.
In all fairness, Bill just did the basic tracking of TMO; he's never heard how the song's further progressed.
Didn’t he say the song didn’t progress further than the chorus and backgrounds?
That's true for the sessions MJ did with Bill at Hayvenhurst.
So Michael did not recorded alright now
He did.
It's just that what I found it funny the most was that when talking about Buffalo Bill - arguably one of the most sought after outtakes that a lot of fans have been wanting to hear for decades - Bill simply went "eh, not my thing." That tweet really caught me off guard lol. Fair thing that everyone is gonna have their own taste I guess.
So he didn't do it. I have spoken.
True, and I respect his take, but it also is hilarious. For some of these, I can imagine MJ giving him a track to tweak and leaving the studio, and Bill is sitting there by himself wincing during the playback. haha.
Buffalo Bill is the one song I hope lives up to its hype
I would love it too, especially for Night Time Lover. But while researching this, I unfortunately came to the conclusion that this was not recorded by MJ.
Same here. Hearing "Chicago 1945" has restored some of my faith that a few gems remain hidden away.
