Valentine's Day: 20 Greatest Love Songs Of All Time
5. Lady In My Life - Michael Jackson
http://youtu.be/Cc_KSe6FUoU Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. Michael Jackson is one of the greatest artists of all time. 2+2=4? Its perfectly natural to assume that one of the greatest love songs of all time would be found on the best-selling album, sung by one of the greatest artists. Well assume no longer, that song is Lady in My Life. When Thriller dropped in 1982, 7 of the 9 tracks produced by the very brilliant Quincy Jones were released as singles; the two exclusions were Baby Be Mine and Lady in My Life. Lady in My Life is a sleeper. On an album where everyone was wowed by his boundary crossing collaborations (Paul McCartney on The Girl is Mine) and the cinematic polish of Thriller (Vincent Price cameos), no one was looking for the perfect R&B song. Bonus: the song is written by Rod Temperton, a Brit by birth, who also sang with Heatwave.
