Michael Jackson - On The Line (from Spike Lee's 'Get On The Bus')

[fede4real]

babyface has recorded with awesome artists for 30 years but here MJ took it to another level that voice and passion is just outta this world.These vocals are insane

[Stephie4795]

I love this song! But I think the movie credits in the beginning fucked up on 1:48!!! "Put Your Heart On the Line"? It is "On The Line"!!!!

[N1CKLBACK]

@Stephie4795 well it could have been the original name for the song? otherwise it got shorterned to "on the line" later on ?

[puddin209]

love you for life MJ!

[2SXC2H8]

what a song

[MissBoogie048]

It was written by Michael Jackson (not Babyface)

...due to contractual issues they couldn't mention it

[h0opman31]

is that the exact time of the movie the song is played?

[KentVilhelmsson]

doesn't seem to be the same take as the version on the ultimate collection?

[fede4real]

@KentVilhelmsson its the same I think its just equalized different and they did cut a verse toards the end so the movie could start sooner

[tamagotchiboy002]

its not put your heart on the line its on the line

[benjaminvlz]

@tamagotchiboy002 Sometimes songs have alternate titles.

Babyface song through it all... but fits MJ!

[ledellwatts]

Love the soundtrack and feel like this was Spike's best work.

[fede4real]

@ledellwatts honestly to me sounds obviusly babyface production but cowritten and coproduced by MJ.lyrically sounds like something Mj could have write and it has that typical growing in production leading to the gospell choir ending with MJ adlibs,a recurrent pattern in most MJ late ballads:cry,you are my life(babyface),speechless,you are not alone.heal the world.will you be there,history...

[raiders2000]

WWAHP ..it was featured in the opening credits.. as u can see

:)

[WWAHP]

Love this song! Do anyone know why wasn't song included on the Get on the Bus soundtrack?

[ebon1queen]

I know! I bought the soundtrack for this song..

[Draliongirl]

My favorite movie is a spike Lee Joint, Crooklyn, which has some Jackson 5 songs also, Spike is a GENIUS

[nr1Holloweaver]

[eami111]

black power!

[Lauzzy81]

The song was released back in 1997 on the GHOSTS limited Edition Box set as single and it's released on the Ultimate Collcetion!

Anyone wanting to download this, just look into software that records the sound of your speakers and turns it into an mp3. Or a youtube downloader coupled with a flv-to-mp3 converter. Research!

Anyway this is a great song, MJ's last real excellent work. And the movie is excellent- I'm white and I still loved it, it's just so intelligent and well-made. I urge others to see it!

[tomo823]

I loved this song and wondered why it was not on the movie soundtrack. never dawned on me until now to do a search for the song. Thanks for posting this the imagery of the intro to the movie was powerful. RIP MJ
