Michael Jackson - For The Good Times (1984) RARE

Michael sings Ray Price's "For the Good Times" at mum Katherine's 54th birthday party at the Bistro Garden in Beverly Hills. Piano accompaniment by country star Floyd Cramer.

How poignant now, the words of the song...

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on, for you....

@kaicc This is all there is! You can find the original by Ray Price on the right but it's nowhere near as good as Michael's. :)

@johanna006 The song was actually written and recorded by Kris Krisofferson in 1970, and Ray Price recorded a cover version the same year.

@ldjmcc Ah! Thank you!

anyone have the raw uncut video of this.please let me know.

[johanna006]

The video belongs to Michael. It was taped by his videographer, Steve Howell. No idea where to find it.

This is the only song that Michael sang at the party. I thought they cut off too much at the beginning and end.

Awe. So precious. Michael, you are so precious.

As said before, Ray Price covered the song successfully, but I much prefer the original by Kris Kristofferson, the songwriter... It's so filled with real emotions, such a beautiful and tender song when sung by himself.

u asked what MJ thought about Shmuley's book. I have a friend that is also a medium and he told us that he wants all his fans 2 read the book b/c it shows many parts of his true self and shows y his spirit is trapped here. Good news he healing b/c he found his ideal woman.
