Free Legal MP3 of the Week - Eric Coomer covers Michael Jackson

I'm not sure why, but at 2 am Sunday night I decided I wanted to record Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" from his legendary Thriller album.

I recorded it in one take using the internal microphone of a laptop. So, sorry for the distortion in the track. One day I'll record it properly.

Hope you enjoy. Oh and enjoy the ridiculous picture as well.

Michael Jackson - 1958-2009

I can't find the words. I don't even know where to begin. We have lost a genius...a true genius. That word is thrown around so often, but Michael Jackson was an absolute genius. A legend.

Michael was an enormous influence on my music as he was on all musicians who make modern music.

I am devastated...I can't believe it...and yet, listening to his music, I can not help but smile. His music has that effect. And so, I will probably keep listening to his music for a long time.

Rest in Peace, Michael.
