MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 — Michael Jackson, “Black or White”)

Released on this day…

back in 1991…

Michael Jackson gave us one of his biggest hits…

“Black or White!”

(Music Cut #2 — “Black or White”)

Now, remember that rap in the middle of the song?

Ever wonder who that was?

I guarantee it wasn’t who you might think!

(Music Cut #3 — “Black or White” — Rap Section)

That’s Bill Bottrell…

the song’s own CO-PRODUCER!

Michael liked his version so much, he kept it!

And then Bottrell even gave himself the rapper name L.T.B. –

a nod to his suburban childhood… and Leave It to Beaver!

(Music Cut #4 — “Black or White”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I said if you’re thinkin’ of bein’ my brotha
It don’t matter if you’re black or white.” – Michael Jackson, “Black or White”
