Since we buried the King of Pop this week, I thought it only fitting to recommend some of my favorite, lesser-known Michael Jackson tracks. Everyone knows “Billie Jean”, “Thriller”, and “Smooth Criminal”, but here are some gems that I feel often get overlooked.

This is probably my favorite Jacko song, created in between his Jackson 5 years and his solo career. This track is so funky and danceable that it easily stands the test of time.

Next is from Mike’s reinvention and arguably best album (purely based on the music), “Off the Wall”. Debuting when Mike was only 21, all the tracks are incredible but this one was a special diamond that you don’t hear much about.

Then I figured I’d throw a modern day remix in here for good measure. This remix is off the Motown Remixed album that came out a few years back. There’s two Jackson 5 remixes on it, but I prefer the Z-Trip rework of “I want you back”. Check it out.

Enjoy, and RIP to one of the greatest artists of all time.
