Today in Michael Jackson History January 13th



HISTORICAL DATES



1973
Michael Jackson's BEN debuted on the UK Album Charts at its peak position #17
and remained within top 50 for 7 consecutive weeks.

1999 The Japanese pop group J-Friends releases the single "People Of The World" composed by
Michael in support of the Kobe relief effort. Michael wrote this song for the children in Kobe, where
a devastating earthquake killed more than 5000 people in 1995. He offered to work with J-Friends
who were then planning a charity project for the children of Kobe. He co-produced this song with
Japanese producer Yasushi Akimoto. It is said that the singers listened to MJ’s demo version before
they recorded, but MJ’s version remains unreleased. So today we still have no access to his original
demo or lyrics. Just an English translation from the Japanese lyrics.

2003 Madonna won the "Michael Jackson International Artist of The Year Award" at the AMA

2006 - Michael was invited by the Al Gosaibi family to their wedding celebrations and he surprises
everyone by showing up at the marriage ceremony.

(One of few translations from Japanese.
Alll have the same message just worded different)

People of The World

Meeting you,
I was taught the meaning of love
Changing nothing
It's All of you
I want to protect.

Humans, every one of them
From the time they were born
Strive keep on living
People all over the world

People all over the world
Everywhere alike, everyone alike
Something happens, love will grow
For you I will sing
Sing a song of love...

People all over the world
If you, in some other places
Will shed your tears
My heart will hurt.
I am sure that
The tears of anyone on this earth may
Hurt the same

Arms in arms
Hearts getting close to each other
Everyone
Sing on!
People all over the world

People all over the world
If you smile, I will smile, too
Love grows
Someday on this earth there will surely be
Only smiling faces.

People all over the world

People all over the world
Love has been heard

People all over the world
From country to country

People all over the world
Love has been heard


Children's voices:
People all over the world

People all over the world
The world is one, we have the same heart
Let's Sing the same song together
From us to you

“Together we sing to make a better world ….”

People all over the world become one
People all over the world become happy.
For people all over the world to be happy.



QUOTE OF THE DAY

Michael Jackson is the most astonishing person I’ve ever met on
the face of this planet. I never expected to meet anybody like him,
I never suspected there was anybody like him… He lived to give."

Wonderful videos. I wonder why Michael's version was not used?
