If you're gonna listen to it this is probably the most hq version, as it was only leaked via seminar recording. It also has Steve talking about the song at the start.

Thank you. I will listen when I get home.

I have never heard Chicago 1945 before. What a great song!

How did you hold off for so long??

I've just given in and listened.

Is that the full leak?

Yeah, had potential that one.

I listened to it. I've heard this one before. It's a pretty song.

Yes, there's a full version leaked. As Socav pointed out, it's the remix Steve Porcaro did when Michael passed. Who knows how the actual demo sounds like.

Regarding respect's comment on Chicago 1945 and She Was Loving Me, the former is absolutely better than the latter. She Was Loving Me sounds like a corny telenovela and Chicago 1945 is like a story that could work out for a novel or movie.

Take a listen to Snow White's link. It's there in all its glory. Great little song. First song recorded after the Thriller sessions but prior to the Bad sessions IIRC.

As for the Chicago 1945 vs Chicago/She Was Loving Me debate, I like both songs and really, they have nothing in common as it was the estates stupid decision to change the name of She Was Loving Me. Quite why they did that when there's another song in the vault with the same title is a baffling creative decision and a liberty they don't really have the right to take.

The best thing about being a Michael Jackson fan is that you can be a fan for a years and still (re)discover gems all the time. I've never been that interested in The Jacksons (I prefer Michael's solo work) but I just came across the Destiny tour concert on YouTube and it's great! I especially love the performance of Destiny at 24:55. Michael's voice sounds so clear and smooth, and what a nice song too. I'm not sure I've even heard it before (I know, shame on me) but I've had it on repeat today

I prefer the Jacksons over the Jackson 5, TBH for the fact him and the brothers fought for more creative freedom and achieved it for Destiny and Triumph which are their best albums.

I have never heard this interview before. He was so sweet and gentle. It's heartbreaking to think of the hell he went through just a few weeks later.

I love finding interviews like this where he's treated respectfully and no one asks him tabloid questions.

The information is incorrect. Sony is not removing their artists music from TikTok. It’s connected to Universal label. Any tracks released by Universal competitors, like Sony and Warner, that includes a Universal songwriter must be removed by TikTok.
