I think I was 16 or 17 when I bought the single “Looking Through my Eyes” by Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony, back in the day when we still wanted singles. I never bought “Crossroads”, but that is such a lovely song also. Especially the music video. I’ve always liked the ending.
Not so long ago I discovered that Bone Thugs had sampled Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song”. What’s cool is that they did it before he died, and not after. I’m not sure if they intended to have the song on any of their albums, but there’s a video of them playing the song for a live audience.
I liked the song immediately. Lyrics (those I can figure out LOL) are awesome. They blend perfectly with Michael’s voice. (How great is Michael’s voice really? OMG…)
They were supposed to be having a concert in my city before Christmas I think it was, not sure if it happened, but I wanted to go.
There have been many Michael Jackson tribute songs after he passed away. “What Have we Done” were not intended as a tribute song, but it has become one. I think it’s one of the greatest. Especially because they chooses a song and a theme that Michael cared deeply about.
