My Thoughts:
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Press Release:
Michael Jackson's fourth and final new studio album for Motown came nearly two years after its predecessor, Music and Me. It was a more mature effort for the 16-year-old singer but lacked the contemporary dance style that had given Jackson and his brothers a career rebirth with "Dancing Machine" the year before. The album did spawn two minor chart singles, "We're Almost There" and "Just a Little Bit of You" (both produced by Brian Holland of the Holland-Dozier-Holland production team), and a third track, "One Day in Your Life," would chart as a reissue six years later. But though Jackson sang appealingly, the arrangements were noticeably similar to many older Motown charts, and there was little here to hint that, four years hence, on his next solo album, Off the Wall, Jackson would emerge as a major star.

Tracklist:
1. "We're Almost There"
2. "Take Me Back"
3. "One Day in Your Life"
4. "Cinderella Stay Awhile"
5. "We've Got Forever"
6. "Just a Little Bit of You"
7. "You Are There"
8. "Dapper Dan"
9. "Dear Michael"
10. "I'll Come Home to You"
