Mariah Carey's Unreleased Collaboration with Michael Jackson: The Story Behind the Song
Mariah Carey expressed disappointment that a collaboration she recorded with Michael Jackson remains unreleased. The renowned singer, known for her cover of The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There," recorded a track with the late King of Pop that she considers to be one of his classics. Carey hoped to include the song on her recent album, "Here For It All," and has encouraged fans to advocate for its release.
During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," Carey shared her frustration about the song not being included on the album, emphasizing its significance and the new vocals she added to it. She expressed her desire for fans to reach out to Jackson's management to request the release of the collaboration.
While this unreleased track with Michael Jackson has not made it to the public, the two artists previously collaborated on a song for Jackson's 2001 charity single, "What More Can I Give." The charity single aimed to raise funds for the families affected by the September 11 terrorist attacks and featured a star-studded lineup of vocalists, including Reba McEntire, Beyoncé, NSYNC, Celine Dion, and others.
Michael Jackson, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 50 due to acute propofol intoxication, left behind a legacy of iconic music and collaborations. Despite the unreleased track with Mariah Carey, their previous collaboration on the charity single remains a testament to their musical contributions.
