One Day In Your Life (album)
''One Day in Your Life'' is a compilation released by Michael Jackson's former record label Motown Records, consisting of both solo and Jackson 5 tracks recorded with Motown, and released on March 25, 1981. It was the first Jackson album released in the 1980s. Most of the tracks are from Jackson's fourth studio album, ''Forever, Michael'' (1975). The other songs were taken from Jackson 5 releases to pad the album's running time. Motown later admitted that the album was just a quick cash grab generated from the success of Jackson's '' Off the Wall'' (1979). The compilation's title track (originally appearing as a non-single track in ''Forever, Michael'') was released as a single and became a worldwide hit, especially in the United Kingdom, where it became Jackson's first number-one hit as a solo artist.

We're Almost There
"We're Almost There" is a 1975 song released as a single by American singer Michael Jackson, the first release from his final Motown album, ''Forever, Michael''. Background As Jackson's voice changed a bit, Motown found it difficult to find material to suit the 16-year-old Jackson, who had sung in a higher voice for most of the duration of his Motown tenure. With the return of the Holland brothers Brian and Edward, Motown had the duo write a collection of songs to fit Jackson's age. Reception ''Cash Box'' said that "sweet strings soar high above a polished production as Michael Jackson's sugary vocal slides sexily along." ''Record World'' said that "it's the youthful Jackson's first single in almost two years, but well worth the wait." Charts The duo composed this song and the modest hit, " Just a Little Bit of You", which became a top forty hit after this single was released. Performing more modestly, the song eventually peaked at number 54 on the pop chart while hitting number ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
