LOL Michael Jackson is a great fan of Bee Gees

Michael Jackson said...


"when the Bee Gees came out in the '70s, that did it for me. I cried. I cried listening to their music. I knew every note, every instrument."

"And when they did Saturday Night Fever, that did it for me. I said, 'I gotta do this. I know I can do this.'"

Obviously Jacko didn't pay attention to their "NY mining disaster 1941" era. I guess Berry Gordy kept him busy at the time.

MJ Collaborated with Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees and Diana Ross in the song 'Eaten alive' which is in Diana Ross's album of the same title (1985) produced by Barry Gibb.

You can hear both Barry and MJ in the background vocals. MJ also co-wrote the song with Barry and Maurice Gibb. (Actually, he added some ideas in the chorus after he heard the original demo by the Gibbs)

The most popular single from this album is 'Chain Reaction'.

br: Really?


Mj: Really, and then when the bee gees came out in the '70s, that did it for me. I cried. I cried listening to their music. I knew every note, every instrument.


Br: [sings] "this broken heart ..."
mj: [sings] "how can you mend ..."
br: [sings] "this broken heart ..."
mj: And [sings] "how can you stop the rain from falling down?" i love that. [sings with ratner] "how can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go 'round." i love that stuff. and when they did saturday night fever, that did it for me. I said, "i gotta do this. I know i can do this." and we hit with thriller. And i just started writing songs. I wrote "billie jean." i wrote "beat it," "startin' somethin'." just writing, writing. It was fun.
br: Any posters up in your room when you were a kid?
mj: yeah. Brooke shields, everywhere. My sisters would get jealous and tear them off the wall.
Br: What are the great shows that you've seen, concerts?
Mj: james brown. Jackie wilson. The real entertainers, the real ones, make you get goose bumps.
br: It was james brown? Where'd you see him?
Mj: We used to have to go onstage after him because he would come on and then we would come on amateur hour. so i'd be in the wings studying every step, every move--
br: --on tv?
Mj: No, at the apollo [theater].
