"There Must Be More to Life Than This" - feat. Freddie Mercury

Composition "There Must Be More to Life Than This." shows the result of the work when two legends come together in one studio and start making magic! There are some rather curious details about the relationship with this song Michael and Freddie.

For £32,000, the former assistant Mercury, Paul Prentonhe told some rather curious details about those days. According to him, the guys were supposed to record a few more songs, but their collaboration stopped after Jackson caught Mercury using substances in his living room. But that's not even the strangest thing Prenton narrated. The man stated that Freddie was shocked to learn that Michael used to bring a tame llama into the studio with him! This theory was supported by Jim Beach. The following follows from his words:

"Freddie rang me up and said: "You've got to get me out of here because I'm recording with a llama! I've had enough, I want to get out!"

I wonder if this is true, or, as always, are the forgotten persons in the music world trying to cash in on the big names of idols?

"State Of Shock" - feat. Mick Jagger

Originally in place Jagger would have to be the already mentioned Freddie MercuryBut due to scheduling differences, Michael enlisted the help of his brothers and his rock 'n' roll idol. The result is a great track worthy of this list!

"Just Good Friends" - feat. Stevie Wonder

Michael has worked so much with Wonder that they are practically brothers - not in blood, but in music! Not surprisingly, they recorded several tracks as a duo, one of which is familiar to millions of listeners as "Just Good Friends."!

"Somebodys Watching Me" - feat. Rockwell

The Halloween anthem is a hit "Somebodys Watching Me" for a long time hiding Jackson on backing vocals! However, the loyal fans were not so easily fooled: they immediately recognised the familiar notes of the voice in the chorus.

The story goes that Kennedy Gordy (a.k.a. Rockwell) showed his creation to his father, Berry Gordy, founder of the Motown Records! However, the man reacted coldly to his son's creative impulses. Then Michael decided to help his childhood friend: he only needed to sing a few lines in the chorus for the song to become a hit and Berry Gordy to look at his son in a new way!

"Whatzupwitu" - feat. Eddie Murphy

You could say that this is one of Michael Jackson's most comedic duos! And how could it be any other way when you've got yourself Eddie Murphy!

"Beat It" - feat. Eddie Van Halen

The iconic guitarist Eddie Van Halen graced this track with his awesome solo in the middle and got... a few beers for it! He just loved the song and also couldn't say no Quincy Jones. So he did it for free.

"Give In to Me" - feat. Slash

Jackson also worked with guitarist "Guns N' Roses' Slash. over "Give In to Me"!

It has long been rumoured that it was this collaboration that broke Slash and Exla Roseand consequently ruined the band. However, these were just rumours!
