![]() I do not feel the song has ever received the credit it unquestionably deserves, nor been truly revered outside the Michael Jackson fan circle for its incontestable excellence. It is this incredibly captivating effect which has inspired me to write this tribute piece. I can still remember sitting at eight years old, engrossed in writing out the lyrics over and over again in an attempt to decipher Michael's true intent behind these profoundly impassioned, almost haunting words.įrom its opening segment featuring Beethoven's Ode to Joy and choral introduction by the Andrae Crouch singers to its emotionally exhausting finale, the song mesmerizes its listener from start to finish. The first time I heard Will You Be There, I was captivated by the intensity of emotion conveyed by Michael in both his voice and lyrics. Penned solely by Michael at the height of his career, this initial 7 minutes and 40 seconds version of the song became an instant favourite of fans the world over. Michael Jackson first revealed Will You Be There to the world when it featured as the eleventh song on his 1991 album release 'Dangerous'. Cover of the "Will You Be There" CD single.
