I thought I had put all these up a while back but, nope.
If I Could Only Win Your Love was added yesterday and Give Me Time a couple days before that. Links below.

The Time to Live and He Gives Us All His Love will be put up this week.

A demo tape made by the them with one MJ solo.

Sanskrit has bought the first album from Atco and will be re-releasing it March 1, and in the meantime Johnson is working on new material for a third album. During the breather before returning to the concert trail in March, he was working with entertainer Mark Henley, his next door neighbor, and singer Mary MacGregor, who also are charges of Projects IV, on a three-person act. They wanted to explore their group potential. But earlier this month after playing an opening date at Charlotte's Web in Rockford, Ill., they decided the trio wasn't clicking and will continue their individual careers.

Michael also covered Newman's "That's Why I Love Mankind":

Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why
For if the children of Israel were to multiply
Why must any of the children die?
So he asked the Lord
And the Lord said:
Man means nothing he means less to me
Than the lowliest cactus flower
Or the humblest Yucca tree
He chases round this desert
Cause he thinks that's where I'll be
That's why I love mankind

I recoil in horror at the foulness of thee
From the squalor and the filth and the misery
How we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me
That's why I love mankind

The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV
They picked their four greatest priests
And they began to speak
They said, "Lord, a plague is on the world
Lord, no man is free
The temples that we built to you
Have crumbled into the sea
Lord, if you can't take care of us
Won't you please, please let us be?"
And the Lord said
And the Lord said

I burn down your cities-how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me
That's why I love mankind
You really need me
That's why I love mankind

well I must have a listen to that one too. thanks. I take it you don't have a recording of Michael's?

He sang it in 1977 I believe, in Menomie, WI but I didn't bring my recorder with. Always regretted it. I don't have it in my database but today I found I had it in my iTunes. This is from a soundcheck and it's probably 12/28/1999 or 12/28/2000 in Galesville, WI. The only two times I ever heard him performs it.

P.S. MJ LOVED Randy Newman. And I have recordings of 8 songs he covered but some were just snippets in soundchecks like Jolly Coppers and Short People. No one sang Marie like he did. I also have one recording of Ghosts.

I have to say I like Michael's version MUCH better. Though Randy Newman isn't one of my favourites. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to hear Michael's covers. Bring them on!
You're the best.
