This song got minor air play in the mid-80s during "Michael Mania". I can't find much info about it other than it was a b-side for one of his Thriller releases. Do any of you know anything about this? Is it available on CD?

It is available on the recently released "Thriller" ringle, I believe. Whatever single it was the B-side of, it's on the ringle.

I never heard it before this clip...those horns sound like "Stevie Wonder horns" to me. I know this was a leftover from "The Wiz" that was polished up by Quincy Jones, but it definitely sounds like Steveland had something to do with it...

More about ringles in this thread:

I still have not seen a single ringle for sale in any CD store I've visited in Manhattan. And there are some I would buy, for sure.

Ahhh. That makes more sense. At first I thought it was a misspelling for "single".

Thanks guys. I'll keep an eye (or ear as the case may be) out for it.

OK. Did some searching and see that it's coming out near the end of March. It was supposed to be out last November, but didn't make it.

Yeah, it's how Astro and Scooby Doo pronounce it.

I think it's a stupid name and concept, but anything that gets OOP music out there other than download I'm OK with.

From what I can tell, it originally was supposed to come out in October, 2007. The latest release date I've seen is March, 2008.
