1991 Michael Jackson released his eighth album Dangerous. An experimental work, Dangerous is considered an artistic change for Jackson, with his music focusing to more socially conscious material, and a broader range of sounds and styles.
The eleven-minute video for "Black or White" debuted on November 14, 1991, and was broadcast across 27 countries. Five hundred million viewers reportedly watched it—the largest audience ever for a music video. I remember it was a Sunday night during all the big shows on FOX.
A billion singles were released (because it's Michael!! Still in his huge phase.) "Black or White" which made #1 and was the fastest chart topper, in the USA, since the Beatles' "Get Back". (#1 Dance Club #3 R&B/HipHop)
"Give In to Me" w/Slash (no us release)
"Gone Too Soon" was dedicated to the memory of Jackson's friend Ryan White, a teenager from Kokomo, Indiana who came to national attention, after being expelled from his school for having HIV/AIDS.
