Song: Someone In The Dark
Song by: Michael Jackson

Podcast vocals acapella: Gail Nobles

Hello everyone! Today’s topic is Michael Jackson and The ET Extra - Terrestrial Album. A book is also included in the album. You can listen and read along. It was for the 1982 blockbuster film of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg. Composed by John Williams, and the album was narrated by Michael Jackson, produced by composer Quincy Jones and distributed by MCA Records.

Where I’m from, not many people have heard of the E.T. Album. I’m not sure if that many were sold at the time. I was lucky to see and buy the album. My favorite part of the album was hearing MJ sing, Someone In The Dark. At the time in the 80’s, not many people I know heard the song. I’ll sing a few lines.

(Singing)

I use to listen to Michael Jackson and sing along with him singing the song, Someone In the Dark. I could sing better in the past. I was a lot younger then, and was practicing more.

Michael’s voice sounded so angelic to me in singing a song. He had a sweet sounding voice. (Singing) He had a way of singing his words and expressing himself. When I heard Michael singing, Someone In The Dark, I was touched and felt some loneliness in my life just like he did. I think we all do sometimes. The song was written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman and was composed by Rod Temperton.

I’m Gail Nobles. You’re listening to Sound Flave (Radiae Applis).
