My mother loves "Man In The Mirror" because of its message, and she also thinks "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" is a beautiful love song. But her favourite Michael Jackson songs are the ones he sung with the Jackson Five.
About a month ago, when the TV stations and radio stations were buzzing with Jackson memorial shows and the like, a music video channel was playing his videos, and 'Rock With You' came on, and my mother commented that his voice and face were both still excellent at that point... I think she didn't really care much for the 'Off The Wall' album when it first came out, though.
I don't own 'Off The Wall', but for a while now, the singles that came off that album have been my favourite MJ songs,. I think 'Rock With You' is my current favourite. I used to prefer 'Off The Wall', which I still love.
I am also partial to 'Remember The Time' and 'Human Nature'.
