Washington, July 17 (ANI): Much has been said about late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s life, and now his former sound engineer, Bruce Swedien, has decided to share his views on the ‘Thriller’ star.
Swedien, who worked alongside Quincy Jones, has in his new anecdotal narrative “In the Studio With Michael Jackson” revealed about Jacko’s time in the studio.
“Michael never came late to the studio, if anything he was early,” Fox News quoted Swedien as saying.
“And he never recorded with the lyrics, he would instead be up all night memorizing every line. He was just so polite and easy-to-please, something you don’t see too often in this industry.
“His motto was ‘the quality goes in before the name goes on’. He lived by that,” he said.
Swedien also revealed that when it came to perfecting his work, Jacko would stop at nothing, and he even ordered Rolling Stones’ lead vocalist Mick Jagger while they were recording “State of Shock” in 1984.
“He had Mick doing scales for over an hour to warm-up before he would even start,” Swedien added. (ANI)
