ON THIS DAY IN MICHAEL JACKSON HISTORY- On January 2, 1983, Billie Jean was released as the second single from Michael's sixth studio album, Thriller (1982). It was written and composed by Michael and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. "Billie Jean" blends post-disco, rhythm and blues, funk and dance-pop. The lyrics describe a woman, Billie Jean, who claims that the narrator is the father of her newborn son, which he denies. Michael said the lyrics were based on groupies' claims about his older brothers when he toured with them as the Jackson 5.""Billie Jean" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart within three weeks, and became Michael's fastest-rising number one single since "ABC", "The Love You Save" and "I'll Be There" in 1970, all of which he recorded as a member of the Jackson 5. Billboard ranked it as the No. 2 song for 1983. "Billie Jean" is certified 6× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. It was also a number one hit in the UK, Canada, France, Switzerland and Belgium, and reached the top ten in many other countries. "Billie Jean" was one of the best-selling singles of 1983, helping Thriller become the best-selling album of all time, and became Michael's best-selling solo single. Michael's performance of "Billie Jean" on the TV special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever won acclaim and was nominated for an Emmy Award. It introduced a number of Michaels signatures, including the moonwalk, black sequined vest, high-water pants, and was widely imitated. The "Billie Jean" music video, directed by Steve Barron, was the first video by a black artist to be aired in heavy rotation on MTV. Along with the other videos produced for Thriller, it helped establish MTV's cultural importance and make music videos an integral part of popular music marketing. The spare, bass-driven arrangement of "Billie Jean" helped pioneer what one critic called "sleek, post-soul pop music".[2] It also introduced a more paranoid lyrical style for Michael a trademark of his later music.

"Billie Jean" was awarded honors including two Grammy Awards and an American Music Award. In a list compiled by Rolling Stone and MTV in 2000, the song was ranked as the sixth greatest pop song since 1963. Rolling Stone placed it at number 58 on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004, and at number 44 in its 2021 update of the list. The song was also included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.[3] Frequently listed in magazine polls of the best songs ever made, "Billie Jean" was named the greatest dance record of all time by BBC Radio 2 listeners.

Това са текст от песен, написана на ръка от Майкъл през 1993 г.: "The Innocent man", която е намерена в него година след смъртта му.. . В текста се обсъждат чувствата му по отношение на обвиненията, отправени срещу него през 1993 г. и пледоарията му за невинност.. .

#MichaelJackson handwritten lyrics for the song "The Innocent Man." This unreleased song was written by Jackson in 1993, at the height of the Jordan Chandler allegations. Michael Jackson's drafts were found in his possession a year after his death.

California’s lost her love for me.

Seems she’s trying to convict me now.

Seems her heart has turned against me now.

If I sail to Acapulco or Cancun Mexico

then the odds are all against me,

but god knows that I’m innocent.

If I sail to Acapulco or Cancun Mexico

there the law is waiting for me

and God knows that I’m innocent.

If they won’t take me in Cairo

then Lord knows where will I go.

I’ll die a man without a country

and only God knew I was innocent now.

If I sail to Acapulco or Cancun Mexico

there the law is waiting for me

but God knows that I’m innocent.

If the British try to find me then

lord where will I go?

let the whole world go against me,

long as God knows

I’m an innocent man now.

Farewell to all my years in Hollywood

Or Farewell to all my dreams in Hollywood

Let the whole world be against me

long as God knows I’m an innocent man.

Now if the British try to find me

then lord knows where will I go ?

Let the whole world try to find me

long as God knows.

Sometimes I feel just like a fugitive

I’m running for my life and deep inside I ask the question why

But I’m not running at all

I’m just healing a lonely wounded heart

The truth becomes the lie I wish I could fly away.

Ogni giorno è un giorno nuovo solo se lo guardiamo con nuovi occhi.

Tutto il resto è una questione di tempo, attese e numeri da far quadrare.

Buon Anno a tutti voi.

Che la luce, la condivisione, l'ascolto, la mano tesa e la gratitudine, l'accoglienza e la progettualità, per ognuno di voi verso ognuno di noi e viceversa, sia un faro perpetuo e solido nel cammino di tutti, che diventi crocevia di piccoli passi , che sia comunione e fratellanza per fare grandi salti.

Vi auguro i fatti, quelli dove si da amore, dove si riceve amore.

Siamo fatti per amare, non dimentichiamolo mai.

Non voltiamoci mai dall'altra parte quando il Mondo chiede aiuto, quel mondo siamo noi, NOI SIAMO IL MONDO.

Non restiamo a guardare, in salvo sulle nostre scialuppe, le Navi che affondano. Quei disastri sono anche nostri. NOI SIAMO TUTTI.

Non rifugiamoci nella Paura, è vero che essa ha più argomenti della Speranza, ma la Speranza ha le risposte che ci servono, si chiamano verità e tenacia, per arrivare alla meta, alla Vita.

Buon "Oggi" a tutti voi, 2022 2040, come infinito.

L'augurio sarà sempre lo stesso, anche quando cambierà il calendario, cambieremo noi, cambierà il Mondo e cambieremo Mondo... il senso di NOI no, quello sarà sempre lo stesso, sarà sempre Amore.

Con Affetto
