Jackson Had Two Albums In The Works!
It was discovered yesterday that at the time of his death, Michael Jackson was working on two albums -- one pop work and another one instrumental, according to a report by Billboard.
Michael was teaming up with Akon for the pop work, which, Akon says, was motivated by Jackson's desire to please his fans: "My fans are still there. They still love me. They're alive." Akon went on to say of his former collaborator: "His kids are like his first priority, and they had never seen him perform live. He was trying to create the most incredible show for his kids."
Then, Composer David Michael Frank, who worked with Michael on a 1989 tribute to Sammy Davis, Jr., says he received a call from the Gloved One a few months ago and was invited to Michael's home to work on some classical music. "He had two demos of two pices he'd written, but they weren't complete," said Frank. "or one of them, he had a whole section of it done in his head. He had not recorded it. He hummed it to me as I sat at the keyboard in his pool house and we figured out the chords'I guess this recording I made is the only copy that exists of this music."
Both Akon and Franks had visited with Jackson within months before his death. Akon said, "He would always tell me to eat right and ask me if I was exercising and drinking water. He'd always stress you had to take care of yourself before you can go off and do anything else."
Frank said: "He seemed totally healthy, not frail, and gave me a firm handshake when we met. He seemed in good health, had a good voice and was in good spirits. He was very skinny, but from what I knew, he was always thin. He was also taller than I pictured, but he might have been wearing some platform shoes. And he was impeccably dressed."
The composer went on to say he hopes Michael's family will decide to release Jackson's works in the future: "I hope one day his family will decide to record this music as a tribute and show the world the depth of his artistry."
A keyboardist for the pop star told the magazine Jackson was hoping these two albums would be the biggest comeback of his career.
