Jackson Sings About Escapism On Previously Unreleased Song

Posted Thu Jul 16, 2009 4:17pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

A clip of a previously unreleased Michael Jackson song has hit the net, and it feels eerie.

In the song "A Place With No Name," the late King of Pop sings about his desire to travel to a mysterious locale: "Take me to a place without no name."

It is not clear when the song was recorded or if it is referring to a heaven-like utopia or a remote getaway.

The 25-second snippet obtained by TMZ is an interpolation of America's song "A Horse With No Name" that reached Number 1 on The Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972.

Years ago, America's manager reportedly approved Michael's "A Place With No Name."

Jim Morey, America's current manager who also represented Michael in the late '80s and early '90s, told TMZ that the band supported Michael's rendition. "The band was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear."

I hate when people call him child molester. How can you call someone something that was never proven. People and their ignorance. R.I.P. M.J.

You know MJ was the best at music. But he was not a god. Poeple die every day. Look at our soldiers that have given thier lives thru the years. MJ was a child molester. He paid a lot of $ to make it go away. But it didnt. And wont.a inocent man pleads inocent he wont pay. In any way.

Rubbish.

But nice touch using an older photo that doesn't scare the hell out of us!

Yea, its the way he probably would of wanted us to remember him too. Theres so many sides to this thing, but keeping the kids (his) in mind, I guess Ill keep it as It is....

who cares. how many people took songs from michael and turn them into stupid songs. I like a Horse with No Name and I like Take Me to a Place with No Name.

LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE!

He was not a child molester. The child even came out after he died and said he wasn't molested by michael.

I agree with some of the others. Michael was very talented but he was a pedophile... :-(

MJ was found innocent from a jury of his peers. Some would not understand how MJ's music touched a generations. I pray for his kids not to be used for the money he's worth now & will be in the future.

So Much for M Jackson i do not care for him , But he put out some great music nice and smooth.

171. CowboyBert -

172. ceciliac -
I like America better it is famerial.

Please... that has nothing "eerie" to do with his death. Waste of article space. Idiot.

174. Barbara -
never heard the song before in my life but you shouldnt be made a hero or idol or legend if you are a child molester. BUT Thriller will ALWAYS be one of my favorite songs. thanks for that

175. Barbara -
And again i say...if you had a child and your child was molested by someone could they really pay you off...meaning would anyone have enough money to pay you to keep them out of jail for molesting your child...I have a daughter and I doubt anyone had enough money to pay me to keep them from going to jail...I want them to go down because she'll never forget what happened to her...she will always be scared and afraid that mom didn't put this guy behind bars...I have my reservations about MJ being a molester...if he is...you should really be mad at the parent who let him get off.
