In a recent interview for Hudson Reporter, Mark Stein who is a musician from Vanilla Fudge group and has worked with many artists such as Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin, he finally revealed how the song and duet with Michael Jackson and Dave Mason came to life!
Mark Stein was working with Dave Mason on the album ‘Old Crest on a New Wave’ at the time and when asked how he ended up making music with the King of Pop, here is answer:
“One night while in the studio circa 1980 in Hollywood, California, I was working on an album with Mason,” Stein says, “and Michael Jackson was working down the hall in a separate studio with The Jacksons. I went out for a break and saw Michael by the soda machine and introduced myself. I asked him to join me in the session to hear some tracks, so, low and behold, he did. We put up a track called “Save Me” which had a cool feel like something akin to the Off The Wall album he recorded. He totally got into it. Before you knew it, I got him to go sing on the mic and scat a bit. So there he was with the earphones on singing and grooving to the tune. You can hear me singing with Dave Mason and Michael Jackson, how crazy is that?”
