Michael Jackson: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and the Lost Songs



for those unaware of this piece of music history trivia, Michael Jackson was hired by Sega to compose the music for sonic the hedgehog 3, for whatever reason he was let go from the project. Sega ended up using the songs anyways with minor changes done to them, and Michel Jackson himself used several of these original versions to later make the hits 'Black and White' 'Remember the Time' and 'Jam'. Most of the Sonic music was sped up to double time and keys changed. I made adjustments to each song to match them up with one another.
Since MJ is dead now we will probably never know the actual truth about what happened, but as i listen to more Dangerous and post Dangerous Michael Jackson i keep imagining Michael Jackson busting out some awesome sega genesis fm synthesis music and taking it just as seriously as he would one of his hit singles and i respect him a lot for that.

  1. Most of the songs that are mentioned in that article came out in 1991 which was BEFORE Sonic 3. Only Stranger in Moscow (Sonic 3 Credits) came out after Sonic 3.
