Michael Jackson On The Line Unreleased from HIStory Written by Michael Jackson Produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds ('96) recorded ('97) released on the 'Limited Edition Minimax CD'
@@toddpace4588 you don’t understand. Michael got a lot of crap thrown his way before he died. People (idiots) questioned if he could still be considered black when his skin colour changed.
@@toddpace4588 btw skin bleaching is often recommended by doctors to people that have vitiligo after awhile it becomes very difficult to hide it or even it out
This definitely should've been a single, MJ was great at making inspirational songs hell songs in general but I feel his later inspirational songs were overlooked
This was actually released as a Minimax single! It was released in 1997 alone with the “Ghosts” boxset around the same time that Blood On The Dance Floor was released

This song used to get me through the toughest of times including graduating school, I was so young and had the love of Michael guiding me. I don’t care what anybody says, he was an angel on this earth and this song is like a breath of fresh air. I really miss him, I miss him so much.
CORRECT LYRICS No sense pretending it's over Hard times just don't go away, You've got to take that chip off your shoulder It's time you open up, have some faith.... Nothin' good ever comes easy....and All good things come in due time (yes it does) You've gotta have something to believe in I'm telling you to open your mind (hee-eee-eee) Chorus: You've gotta put your heart on the line, if you want to make it right You've got to reach out and try. Gotta put your heart on the line, if you want to get it right Gotta put it all on the line. You see yourself in the mirror And yet don't like what you see, (no) And things aren't getting much clearer Don't you think it's time you go for a change, (oh oh) Don't waste you time on the past (no no) It's time you look to the future (oh oh) It's all right there if you ask This time if you try much harder You'll be the best that you can be!(oh, ohhh oh) Gotta put you heart on the line if you wanna make it right, You've got to reach out and try. Gotta put your heart on the line, if you want to get it right, Gotta put it all on the line [Chorus] If you want to make it right And you want to do it now Then you've got to learn to try And to make it work somehow Don't a lot in life come free And that's just the way it is now You've got to go for what you want You've got to know it, You've got to live it (OH!) [Chorus] (GOTTA PUT IT ALL!!!). . .(ON THE LINE) (YOU AND ME) (whoo!) (whoo!) (YOU AND ME!!!) (GOTTA PUT IT ALL!!!,) (GOTTA PUT IT ALL!!!,)(whoo!)(he!) (Hee!) (Heeeeeeeeeij!) Gotta put you heart on the line if you wanna make it right, You've got to reach out and try. Gotta put your heart on the line, if you want to get it right, Gotta put it all on the line (Heeij!) (heee!) Gotta put you heart on the line if you wanna make it right, You've got to reach out and try. Gotta put your heart on the line, if you want to get it right, Gotta put it all on the line
This is now one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs. Usually songs that don't make the cut are for good reason, but they should've made room on the album for this beautiful song.
Only MJ can speak to your soul like this. I've just discovered this song and I'm still amazed at his voice and arrangement of the song. I've been a fan since I 1st heard of him in 1986. And I was 5yrs old then
How come no one but Michael Jackson can make music like this? It's over!!! almost passed out listening to this song. So Good !!!! Where SHALL i put my heart? :)
@Marcelo Brandao MJ is my favorite by far and I listen to 95% of HOS music only ...there are a few other artists that I will listen to like George Michael or George Strait or some old 80's music and I do love me some old country also 90s country music but I LISTEN to MJ music EVERYDAY and I listen to MJ almost exclusively, it's very rare that I stray. I have two grandchildren ages 5 and 2 and they adore MJ! Last year my grandson dressed as Smooth Criminal he won the school costume contest and he also danced for the kids in the cafeteria, he was a hit! Getting ready to upload a little video of my granddaughter who is 2 years old doing a few moves and saying.." MY MICHAEL" . When it uploads I will come back and leave the link. Please check back!! ALSO Im glad to know there's other people out there like me!
MBTM - Collections Just imagine and dream where we would be if Michael never passed away, did the this is it tour, and gave a proper farewell to close out his career. I could only wonder what thing would be like
Michael Jackson was a great songwriter and solely wrote most of his biggest hits himself. He was also probably in his most creative period in the 90s at the time when this was recorded. That said, it's hard to say for sure given that the credits - especially for unreleased songs - are so mercurial.@@musictheory4u153
This song is so beautiful. Everything about it is just perfect. The lyrics, the background vocals, and of course Michael! It’s one of my favorite songs of his ever.

It reminds me a bit of that song from milestone, i care about you. I love both MJ and babyface. They're just great. And its kinda surprise me in a good way that MJ had this song, it feels different than any other song he did
My favorite song ❤️ I hate that Apple Music doesn’t have it or any of the platforms for that matter. I’m glad I stumbled across this song because it’s on repeat everyday. Love you MJ always and forever 🕊️🤍

My heart breaks when I think about Michaels fate. I love this song and I listen to it over and over again. I love his voice. So beautiful and clear. Really, as if angels are singing. God gave us Michael and he took him away from aus. Michael was too good for this horrible world. He always in my heart ❤
