1997 single by Michael Jackson
"HIStory " is a 1995 song by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson . It was composed by Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis , and was included on his album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I remix album project Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix double A-side single with the newly recorded song "Ghosts " as the second single from that album.
Production
"HIStory" was originally written and composed by Michael Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis in 1995.[1] HIStory Beethoven Lives Upstairs " and "The Great Gate of Kyiv" from Pictures at an Exhibition Pictures at an Exhibition piece was replaced by a similar improvised orchestra piece, but the original sample was used in Jackson's live performances in the HIStory Tour. Audio quotes sampled were Lowell Thomas 's "Charles Lindbergh Report " of Lindbergh's 1927 landing in Paris,[2] Hank Aaron , Ted Kennedy 's 1968 eulogy for brother Robert F. Kennedy , the 1939 "Farewell to Baseball " by Lou Gehrig , the 1940 "Greetings to the Children of England" radio address by Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret ,[3] Muhammad Ali , Thomas Edison , and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 's 1963 speech "I Have a Dream ".[4]
In 1997, Jackson issued the remix album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix Tony Moran , Mark Picchiotti , and The Ummah , although only one of Tony Moran's remixes, titled "HIStory (Tony Moran's HIStory Lesson)" was included on the album. This and the rest of the remixes were included on various commercial and promotional releases of the double A-side release "HIStory/Ghosts", the second single from the album.[5]
Music video
The music video that accompanied the remix opens with the scene of a woman, relaxing on a futuristic sofa, watching the music video through metallic virtual reality goggles . The video is set in a nightclub. Inside the club, televisions, monitors and walls display the history of Jackson's filmography such as "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough ", "Rock with You ", "Beat It ", "The Way You Make Me Feel ", "Man in the Mirror ", "Dirty Diana ", "Smooth Criminal ", "Black or White ", "Remember the Time ", "In the Closet ", "Jam ", "Will You Be There ", "Scream ", "Earth Song ", "They Don't Care About Us ", "Stranger in Moscow ", "Blood on the Dance Floor ", scenes from his short film Ghosts Bad and Dangerous tours. Wearing the goggles, the woman is led to believe she is in the nightclub too. The video ends with the woman removing the goggles.
Chart performance
"HIStory/Ghosts" did generally well in music charts worldwide, having charted within the top-ten and top-twenty in multiple countries. In the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden "HIStory/Ghosts" spent seventeen to eighteen weeks on the charts. In Australia "HIStory/Ghosts" peaked at forty-three before falling off the chart.[6] [7] Billboard [8]
