While off stage, he spent time visiting sick children at their homes in the Sydney suburbs. _________________________________________________________________ Human Nature, which peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100, is one of Jackson’s best ballads, and one of the few songs to capture the wide-eyed, childlike wonder that is part and parcel of his personality. He didn’t write it – Steve Porcaro of Toto and John Bettis did – but Jackson’s breathy vocals and the gossamer harmonies perfectly capture the mood and spirit of the song. In retrospect, it can be viewed as a sad song, however: The anticipation that Jackson sings about with such relish – of breaking out, hitting the streets, connecting with strangers – was a pleasure that was denied him for at least the last quarter century of his life, in large degree because of the unprecedented fame and fanfare generated by the success of Thriller. ~~ _________________________________________________________________ FUN FACT : Steve Porcaro had written the song after his first-grade daughter came home crying because a boy pushed her off the slide. He blurted out three reasons for the incident to comfort her: one, the boy liked her, two, people can be strange and three, it’s “human nature“. He recorded a rough demo of the song in their studio while the Toto song “Africa“ was being mixed. Fellow Toto band member David Paich had prepared some demo tracks for producer Quincy Jones to listen to as possible songs for Thriller and asked Porcaro to make Jones a tape with the songs. _________________________________________________________________ LIVE PERFORMANCE : The song was first performed during the Jacksons’ Victory Tour. Michael started to sing “Ben“, but stopped and proceeded to sing “Human Nature“. It was also performed during Michael’s Bad World Tour and Dangerous World Tour. Jackson also performed the song live during his 1996 Royal Brunei concert. It was going to be performed for Jackson’s This Is It concerts, which were canceled due to his death; however, it was included on the posthumous album to coincide with the concerts. Live versions of the song are available on the DVDs Live at Wembley July 16, 1988 and Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour. Toto has performed the song in some of their shows with vocals by Joseph Williams. _________________________________________________________________ GOOGLE PLUS : MJJUOuttakesSongs _________________________________________________________________ FACEBOOK PAGE : _________________________________________________________________ © MJJ Productions Inc.
