Jackson unheard single revealed
THE last song recorded by Michael Jackson starts with the poignant line, "this life don't last forever," we can reveal.
Jackson hoped the single - a duet called Hold My Hand with American R&B star Akon - would give him his first No1 for 12 years.
While working on it with top music producer Giorgio Tuinfort earlier this year, the King of Pop squealed: "My fans are STILL there. They STILL love me. They're ALIVE!"
Fans can hear the tune on the website YouTube. It is trademark Jacko - catchy, emotional and beautifully sung. But it also has a very modern twist thanks to Giorgio and Akon.
The words make it clear that Michael remained a romantic and idealist to the end, who knew how to write a powerful song. When he sings, "better off being together than being miserable alone," you think of how he yearned to find love.
Some lyrics feel sadder, especially when he sings: "The nights are getting darker and there's no peace inside." Michael was planning a sensational return to the music charts after his comeback gigs at London's 02 by releasing TWO separate albums of new material.
Until now none of the songs from the secret recording sessions have been heard. But Giorgio agreed Hold My Hand could be put on the web because Michael planned for it to be his last single.
He told us: "I'd met Michael in 2007 and worked with him till a few months ago. He heard my work with Akon and loved it."
Giorgio now has a huge number of unfinished Jacko songs, which he will not release without permission from the Jackson family.
"There were a lot of songs nearly finished, hundreds of demos and two completely finished and ready to go," he said.
"I have them at my home. I don't know what will happen with them. I'll leave it with the family to decide."

Why don't you people do what Michael said in his song " Man in the mirror" take a good long hard at yourselves. you will probably want to throw something at it especially those of you who have slated him over the years.
What you people need to do is look at every interview that Michael has ever given and you will see that he is consistent, he doen't crumble when asked questions i.e about his face, child abuse etc.
You just know he is telling the truth. He did have vittiligo. This bleaching skin is a load of garbage and I can't believe youfoolish people would fall for it.
There was absolutley no shred of evidence to match him to those charges so why do people still keep going on about it.
Remember Michael for what he really and truly was.
An incredible singer, dancer, humanatarian who could no more harm a fly let alone a child. Michael was not perfect but then nobody is but he so deserves to be remembered for all the good he did over the years.
I will treasure you Michael forever. Love you most xx

It never amazes me how people love to tear
down and minize Michael Jackson's life and
accomplishments... some of the media/haters will
continue to beat a dead horse to death. How
many of us could live under the microscope of this
world. What's sooo sad is that his family, true
friends and fans and especially his children will have
to relive this garbage being unleashed over and
over again...when will people stop trying to find
negative things to smear Michael's name ...he
has truly contributed to this evil selfserving world with humility and love...few of us can say the same.
People get off your judgemental high and take a
goood look at what our society does to destroy
ones character....I only ask that the readers hear MJackson's voice thru his interviews and you will see he has been consist in his sense of values, morals and ethics throughout his lifetime.
Let the lies burn themselves. RIP MJ luv u

Everytime I see a tribute being done to Micheal Jackson since his death it brings tears to my eyes. Its just awful what this man has had to endure. Even when courts pronounced him innocent he was subjected to widespread public words of hatred and villified for things he'de never done and now that he's dead how many of those people that so rightously condemed him are the same who apparently lovingly pay tribute to him. Its just sad, so sad.
