More about this title

About the Artist: Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson shaped popular music across five decades, from his earliest work as the youngest member of the Jackson 5 through a solo career that redefined what pop music could be. His influence extends far beyond recording; his approach to melody, rhythm, and production created a vocabulary that music students encounter everywhere, from film scores to contemporary R&B and hip-hop.

Why we love this

This duet sits at the intersection of pop accessibility and genuine vocal sophistication. The interplay between the two vocal lines demands careful attention to blend and balance, while the piano part offers enough harmonic and rhythmic texture to feel substantial without overwhelming singers still building their technique.

What to expect

Smooth and buoyant, with a soul-inflected melody that sits comfortably in the chest voice while still allowing for expressive phrasing. The piano part has a modern, rhythmic quality that suggests both the original's production aesthetic and the harmonic warmth of R&B.

Who it's for

This arrangement works for intermediate to advanced singers who understand vocal balance and blend, as well as pianists comfortable with contemporary pop voicings and syncopated accompaniment patterns. It's an excellent choice for duet rehearsals, studio coaching, and recital programming that bridges classical training and popular music.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the two vocal parts carefully in the verses; the piano/vocal score can easily mask the second voice if the dynamic hierarchy isn't intentional.
  • Pay close attention to the rhythmic pocket throughout; this song's groove depends on steady, relaxed phrasing rather than rushing the tempo.
  • Shape the melody with purposeful dynamics rather than singing at a constant level; let the emotional arc of the song guide your phrase direction.
  • Work with your pianist on the transitions between sections; maintaining forward motion without losing the song's laid-back character is essential.

How to use it

Program this as a duet feature on a recital that includes other pop or musical theatre repertoire, or use it as a teaching tool when students ask how to approach contemporary arrangements with vocal and harmonic integrity. It also works well in studio sessions where singers are developing their sense of groove and rhythmic flexibility.
