Michael’s ‘Starlight’

The title track on Michael’s hit album ‘Thriller’ began life as a very different song called ‘Starlight.’ Michael and producer Quincy Jones intended the song to be part of a larger concept album about his musical maturity.

Soundcheck contributing producer Patrick Rivers joins with Bruce Swedien, the recording engineer behind the ‘Thriller’ sessions, to talk about the evolution of ‘Starlight.’ To hear this interview and a sample from ‘Starlight,’ please click here:
