Jackson Michael: Ben CD

On his second solo album, Michael Jackson's catchy "Greatest Show on Earth" has a cinematic quality that stands out thanks to an excellent arrangement by James Anthony Carmichael. "People Make the World Go 'Round" may not be a cover in the traditional sense, but it was released just a few weeks after the Stylistics' better-known hit. "What Goes Around Comes Around" is one of "Ben's" better songs with a lively melody that perfectly suits the artist's youthful voice. There are two winners with the driving and funky "Shoo Be Doo Be Doo Da Day" - which was co-written by Stevie Wonder - and the mid-tempo hit "You Can Cry on My Shoulder" penned by Berry Gordy.
