This is another powerful pairing of tunes from Jackson's later career. On the A side, he and sister Janet pour forth a billion decibels of anger and frustration, distorted into a seething funk/dance track. By contrast, the B side is an extremely moving self-portrait of a man who feels judged by people who never had to grow up without a real childhood. This guy was a great songwriter as well as dancer. Listen to these lines:
People say I'm not OK Cause I love such elementary things. It's been my fate To compensate For a childhood I've never known.
The song was featured in the movie Free Willy 2 - The Adventure Home. Condition Detail:Label: M | Vinyl: M- | Audio: MWritten by: J. Harris III-T. Lewis-M. Jackson-J. Jackson (A), M.
