Michael Jackson - Ghosts (80s Mix)
Музыка
It feels like... the Ghost of Jealousy! 👻🧟 Here is my 80s version of "Ghosts" by Michael Jackson! 🏝✨ Do you think THIS is 'funky'? 😏🎶 A more smooth-subdued, yet still groovy-funky take on the title track of the song from the short film "Ghosts"! 🎥🔥 This one actually was made & done within a few days earlier this year in February (or in '1988'), with some help from a queen from Ibadan named Sade. 👑💎 It was fun, and it didn't need to be an intense one compared to... the other ones. 👁✊🏾💣💥 The 12" extended version is also available on this page! 💿 Hope you enjoy, you spooky folks! 😎🤘🏾 Stay tuned. 🖤
Get it while it's hot! 🔥 Seriously, I know some, if not most or all of these songs may get axed by "them" at any moment, so please use the download links well and share the music (album/songs) with your friends so that the Groove'n'Funk never truly goes away. Thank you! 🖤

The original version of “Ghosts” was leaked by American producer Eulonzo on October 11th, 2022. It was unknown this version existed.
Although fans are familiar with the original version from the “Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix” remix album in 1997, as well as from the short film of the same name, it has been revealed that “Ghosts” (rumored to be original originally titled “Ghost of Jealousy”) was originally written as far back as 1984 during the Forever sessions, and recorded on and off in 1984-1988 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angelos as well as Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas - alongside singer Sade. It’s believed that this was made around the same time as the original version of “2 Bad” and various other tracks that were considered for the Ghosts short film. It’s unclear whether or not the vocals were ever completed for this version.
The song is strongly believed to have been written during and after the success of the single/music video for “Thriller” and Michael feeling inspired to do dozens of spooky-genre songs, potentially for another ‘horror/scary’ short film before entering the 90s decade. During this brief time, he had written and recorded the original versions of “2 Bad”, “Is It Scary”, “Threatened”, and others which had meant to be included in the next short film and/or the soundtrack. Shortly after writing the song, he began working further on this version around the summer of 1984 with Joe Kehr, alongside Sade who was co-producing and co-writing the track with Michael.
While the song runs over 5 minutes, the full-length version is an over 9 minute long extended version, with an unused Vincent Price rap from Thriller and more adlibs, drums and instrumentation from The Rag Tag Band. Out of all bandmates, Sarah Greim (aka Syradelic) was also brought into the studio first for guitar work, as well providing background vocals for the 12” version. Due to time constraints, the song was edited down to two versions, to potentially fit on a vinyl if they ever decided to put it on an album.
While most of them liked this version, Michael wasn’t completely satisfied with it. While he loved Sade and her contributions, he felt it was possibly ’too calm’ for a spooky song compared to his past scary-themed work. Quincy later heard it and also liked it, but also agreed it was missing something. Ultimately, the song was shelved due to CBS records, Sade’s label, not allowing it to be released altogether. However, Michael and Sade kindly agreed to let her keep many of the elements of the song, which evolved into her song “Paradise” which was released later as a single in 1988 for her Stronger Than Pride album.
Michael would later on revisit the song for the ‘Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix’ remix album in 1994-1997, this one being produced by Michael himself and Teddy Riley. He eventually put it on the album, while this version remained unreleased.

Your work won't remain underrated. These are so amazing and groovy.
Around early 1982, Ghosts was the one of the tracks to be recorded for the Thriller album. Unfortunately, it did not make into the final cut, for what would have been a track much similar to its album-titled track. In the 1990s, around the HIStory era, the track was once again revisited and produced by Teddy Riley. The original version here remained unreleased until October 2022. This would be considered the early demo of it. Vocals not entirely finalized.

It was written and recorded for Adam's family values....
This is just exquisite and it gives me so so many Sade vibes (whom I know you love). Do not even consider the comments saying it's a "weak" beat or mix, or along those lines; they come from people who will never be able to appreciate the crucial influence of jazz in Michael's songs/aesthetics and in many other iconic artists vital for our music history. Michael's art is anchored in versatility; not all people are able to truly grasp and cherish that. You Eulonzo, are able to, professionally.

Thank you, fellow Stevie fan! 😎🙏🏾 And good mention! Between you and I (and whoever reads 😏), “Is It Scary” is also finished and ready to go. 💯 It’s just ‘one song at a time’, but as Halloween gets closer, we plan to release more material. 🎃
