a stripped down version of Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" with just strings, keys, and Michael's voice. this version really shows how beautifully written this song is.

That’s Rod Temperton as the songwriter. Listen to Heatwave. Michael had the best collaborators with Quincy Jones.

I haven't heard a single AI generated song where the whole arrangement and instrumentation just locks in and evolves consistently like this.

Ngl my ears need a cigarette after that

Now do this with "Human Nature" and then do some Janet Jackson

This is what the NPR Tiny Desk would have sounded like. If only

Rod Temperton putting the first pieces of magic in place....

My god... he's more of a genius than any of us have imagined. Strip the meat from the bone, there's still something to enjoy about it...

Rod Temperton and Quincy Jones operated on a whole different level.

I just played this for my wife...and she's due next August.

And one of the scariest part is vocal this is light work for MJ but so beautiful @3:42 the shifts in tones etc masterful

Pop songs these days have nowhere near the amount of unique chord changes like they used to. That's partly why they all seem to sound the same.

WTF?????? Where can I get this version??? My kids heard this playing this from my phone and ran to me! They love Michael and this version is GOATed! They were impressed with how much more they like this song!

Rod Temperton really did that shit

Imagine, it’s 2001, you’re in an underground after party. The E is kicking in and you’re dancing to deep house and suddenly, the room goes quiet and this comes on. The whole room is hypnotized, moving in slow motion and by the end, everyone is singing along in pure ecstasy!!!

where can you download this version of this song at

Greatest song of all time by any artist in any genre.

Girl when dance there’s a magic that must be loved

“Out on the floor” 🔥🔥 that second verse is so underrated 🤌🏿

Michael Jackson's voice is one of one! Ths is superb! His vocals are still among the best recorded! Ths stripped down version reminds me of listening 2the vocal masters of Tammy Terrell and Marvin Gaye.Whn a person can sing,the masters reveal it!Thank you for sharing ths!🎵🎶💽🎤

We need the naked version of more songs like this

this is incredible

Nice, but u need the beat, feels like it’s building to something that never came

This is a music artist we got music creators now smh

God damn this is beautiful.

Brother this is heavenly. Check out SWG (single white glove) on YouTube and their MJ mixes…. Insanely good.

Yeah, but you can't really listen to this, without playing the bass in your head

My favorite MJ song of all time!! #RockWithYou 💃🏽🕺🏽🪩

Thank You.

And people wonder why this is my favorite Mike Jackson song of all time.

The magic is his voice. Everything was built around it.

they should’ve left it like this omg

Can’t believe Rod originally offered it to Karen Carpenter, but thank goodness she turned it down!
