Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury recordings!

[RossHolloway]

So I ran across this today in what seems to be an odd-ballish type collaboration. I really enjoy unreleased material, and I'd love to hear what these two came up with together.

In 1983, Freddie Mercury recorded some tracks with Michael Jackson that have remained in Queen‘s vault. Word is that drummer Roger Taylor and Brian May have completed them, and the songs will see the light of day, pending approval from Jackson’s estate. Literally, legend

Yes, they did collaborate. I have heard a couple of them. One is "State of Shock", the song Michael later released with Mick Jagger.

Apparently they only did two songs: State of Shock and Victory. There Must Be More to Life than This did have MJ's vocals on it but Freddie's was copied and pasted. I think they fell out around the time There Must Be More was handed to Michael. These songs were all gonna be on Victory but MJ ended up putting just State of Shock [[with Jagger) on it. Victory wasn't recorded, I don't think. And MJ only recorded a rough demo of There Must Be More, don't think he finished it either.
