  • Mark Remembers Michael Jackson

    "When I was recording with Dave Mason in 1980 for the album Old Crest On A New Wave which was his last Columbia album, we were doing the session at Hollywood Sound in Los Angeles and the Jackson Five were also doing some tracks in the studio down the hall. I went out for a break and ran into Michael Jackson in the lounge. I introduced myself and said, "Hey Michael, come in the studio and check out this track. I think you'll dig it," and he said, "Sure". He followed me into the studio, and I told the engineer Ed Thacker to put up the track Save Me, written by the late great Jim Krueger (who also wrote the huge hit "We Just Disagree") because it had the same type of flavors and rhythm from the "Off The Wall" album.
     

    So I could see he was getting excited getting into it, and I said, "Michael why don't you go inside and scat on the tune. That would be amazing!" Low and behold he actually went into the studio, stood in front of the microphone, put the earphones on, and we hit the record button. Right away he started singing an d dancing as if it was his own. I turned to the engineer and said, "Can you believe what's going on here?" He basically did it in one take, shook my hand, said thank you, and took off into the night. This track has been sitting in stir all these years, and frankly I am feeling honored that I was probably one of the very few cats from my era to have had the pleasure to sing and play the Hammond organ on a track with him. RIP Michael"
