Michael Jackson Maria B side of Got to Be There

por Zimmermann 054: Michael Jackson

The A side of "Got to Be There" still gets all the anniversary posts, and I get it. But "Maria (You Were the Only One)" was sitting on the other side of that same record the whole time, released on this date in 1971. Michael Jackson took a Jimmy Ruffin song and made it softer and more urgent than the original. Flip the record sometime and let the B side have its moment. #MichaelJackson
