This original composition is a song by Ryuichi Sakamoto, a world-renowned musician from Japan who recently passed away. Many of his great works still remain, and he will increasingly be recognized as a historical composer in the future. May he rest in peace.

Right - Originally written by Sakamoto of YMO, then redone by Greg Philinganes (Greg played keys on Clapton's August album) with additional lyrics from Michael Jackson, as unbelievable as that is. Great verse, though the chorus I've always found weaker, but still really like this old gem, in part because the 2nd chorus is just guitar. This is an enjoyable version. Thanks for posting.

@@dmonsterrrrrrr No disrespect intended for YMO on my part. Clapton's version wasn't forgettable in my opinion - I still love it - especially this LIVE version. The studio track got lost as an album track. Back then he was turning out so many albums a lot of great songs just got lost along the way. Plus, there was this whole thing of MJ saying he wrote the song when he only added some lyrics on his unreleased album track. There was this whole disrespect for YMO from MJ about the whole thing, why did EC want to play in that crap? He didn't. He just moved on, just like he did with his women. Can't blame him for either case.

This is the 1988 Prince's Trust Concert. I know this because I have/had a radio recording on tape somewhere of the show with this song on it. I have wondered what the name of this song was ever since I heard it in the fall of 1988. Other videos here of the show (Layla) also show Clapton dressed the same. . . And I think they looked cool! I saw Clapton in Toronto that fall on tour too. I am sure that Bass player was there.

Michael Jackson wrote the lyrics to the song and the instrumental music came from YMO. MJ recorded this before Mr. Clapton, but it wasn't released until recently. Give credit where credit is due. For what it's worth, I prefer MJ's version. He brings a lot of energy to his songs and obviously the unique and pleasant sound of his voice helps.

Actually Jamezd you are partially right. The main music bed was the original Yellow Magic Orchestra composition, but in 1982 Michael Jackson wrote the new verse lyrics and an additional melody which is what the Phillinganes and Clapton (and later Jackson) versions are based on. In a sense there are two versions of the track - the original composition by YMO and then the version with additional lyrics and melody by Michael Jackson.

@johnhaskins73249 жыл бұрын
So here we go, Yellow Magic Orchestra did it first and except for the vocal bridge in the middle it's essentially an instrumental. Qunicy Jones heard it took it to Michael Jackson, who wrote lyrics for it and it nearly appeared on Thriller; only management disagreements kept that from happening. Greg Philliganes who played on Thriller also played with Clapton and after he did his own version Clapton then did his version. The man who wrote originally wrote this, Ryuichi Sakamoto then did Michael's version of the song with Bernard Fowler on vocals. A great song that everyone sounds at least good on. I personally dig the Prince's Trust version from 1987 with Midge Ure, Phil Collins and Mark motherfuckin' King throwing down a tremendous groove...enjoy!
