remember, at one stage of my childhood, we had no TV at home. To see some children's programs such as Woody Woodpecker or The Flintstones, we had to go to a neighbor and try not to be bothersome to not miss the broadcast of such programs. However, I never miss a radio. Therefore, music, at home, never wanting.
remember, very special, a radio / turntable we had in the small room of the house where we lived in those days. It was like a table, but in Music had a heart inside.
One day my mother had to feed, had to sell it to get some money. Thus, this appliance, it became one more memory.
Therefore, when writing about the second song chosen for this series-duet-songs, the memory of the device came over me constantly, it was precisely inside where I first heard Say say say of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.
Curious. Both characters belong to a band in its infancy. Paul , in that sense, leads Michael, because, although The Jackson Five was a very popular, never reached the fame of the four of Liverpool, The Beatles . However, as soloists, or working under the shadow of his own name, the white black man who became perhaps became more popular than doubtful Beatle, so much be called "King of Pop" without much questioning.
Say say say it was the only song they recorded together. This Girl is Mine , album Thriller (Jackson) and The Man , album Pipes of Peace (McCartney) are the other songs they recorded a duet. However, Say say say, included in Pipes of Peace, was the most successful song of the improvised duet.
Interestingly, Say say say, is the most successful song of Michael Jackson , according to Billboard Magazine , to spend six weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at # 1 and hold eighteen in the Top 40 of the same list.
Although the song credits are shared, Ray Coleman, McCartney's biographer, says that most of the lyrics of Say say say was written by Michael . However, in terms of music, McCartney has more weight in the final cut to make the execution of the synthesizer, percussion, guitar and bass. However, you can not say that the "musical concept of the song belongs to McCartney. George Martin, the fifth Beatle, producer of the song, took care to point out that, "although Michael is a musician in the strict sense of the word, like Paul, knows what he wants musically and remains very firm in their ideas. " The famous sound
the harmonica is the work of Chris Smith and rhythm guitar was recorded by David Williams .
Say say say was recorded at Abbey Road Studios between May and September 1981. Retouching (overdubs, sampling) were made in Cherokee Studios, California, to complete the production in February 1983. On the experience
said Michael "Paul and he shared the same idea of \u200b\u200bhow to run a pop song" so working together with the Beatles (and ex-Beatle) was "a gift."
The chemistry between the two musicians is evident not only musically but vocally and visually, where no other strobe or become cloudy, as demonstrated in the video for the song, which shows Linda, wife of Paul , and La Toya , Michael sister.
And so they do not believe that this set-songs as a duo, is on the videos say no more of it.
Say say say is indeed a musical gem, not only for their musical potential, which is not another world, but data such as have been recorded in two legendary Abbey Road studios as , which recorded the most albums by The Beatles, and Cherokee Studios, where he recorded Off the Wall, Michael Jackons. Agregemole which was produced neither more nor less than the Fifth Beatle, George Martin and was recorded by two talented musical history: Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.
probably the last reason is the success that powered most of it. Tum tum tum
... drums, synthesizers, some minor guitar riff, three accents in the battery and say say say ...
The song is in my DNA from the child. So be it. ***
