This forthcoming single from Will Wheaton dropped in the
inbox this afternoon and, to be honest, I wasn't expecting too much as
it's a cover of Michael Jackson's "Lady In My Life" written by Rod Temperton included on the "Thriller" album (which has been reissued in a 40th Anniversary edition on
Friday), it has never been released as a single. In fact only last week
another version cropped up on the Bemaji Tillman "Algorhythms" album.
How glad I am that I gave it a listen as this is a classy rendition with
shades of Will Downing in his tone, so it may not surprise you to learn
that he has written songs for Downing as well as Tevin Campbell, EWF,
Anastacia. Dare I say it, I prefer this version to the MJ original.
Will was born in Mississippi and raised in Los Angeles and has a
background in gospel. In 1992 he won Dick Clark's USA Music Challenge
talent contest and received an MCA recording contract. He has released
two albums "Consenting Adultz" (1998) and "Old School Soul" (2005) and has worked extensively as a backing vocalist for the likes
of Michael Bolton, Natalie Cole, Coolio, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson,
Quincy Jones, Luis Miguel, Montel Jordon, Kenny Loggins, Whitney
Houston, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, and Rod Stewart and this year has
featured on Michael Bublé's current album "Higher".
The single will be available on all platforms on Monday (21 Nov '22).
