Music and Me:Released in 1973

This was the third solo album for Michael Jackson with Motown Records, all 3 of which were released with 15 months.

Michael was now 14 years old and his voice was beginning to change on this album. It was also the start of the time when Michael was beginning to want more input into his music in terms of playing instruments and contributing to some of the song writing. However Motown would not allow Michael to express any of this creativity.
The album was given little promotion, with only the Stevie Wonder cover "With a Child's Heart" being released in the U.S and the Smokey Robinson penned track "Happy" which was also theme to "Lady Sings the Blue" released in the UK. Both of which failed to chart high.
