ordinary pop songs and why they're great.

Tonight it's time for the most played MP3 on my computer which is also one of my singles. And it's "Rock With You" by Michael Jackson. Now technically it's not one of my singles because it's the album version which is by far the better. The difference being in the extended synth break in the middle which is just ... lovely. Two bites of the cherry compared to the single version, and the second "bite" has these extra notes in. And there's something that I can never fathom happens at the end. Some key change or chord progression at the start or the outro when he first sings "feel that beat...". I wish I knew what it was - answers on a postcard.
