Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson really outdid themselves in this One. Probably my all-time favorite song from them both!!!!

@GingerSnape46

First time I heard this, I was at the beach. The smell of the water, suntan lotion, popcorn, and hotdogs comes back every time I hear this. Great times, great memories!

@lennomenno

Summer 1984 😎

This is one of those cool and forgotten classic. Ashamed radio stations didn't play this song more often.

@user-id9bp1ne2n

I played the hell out of this album. I was blessed to see the victory tour when I was in 8th grade. Once in a lifetime. Miss you Michael.
