Phonte Coleman: "Michael Jackson's 'I Can't Help It' is a Perfect Song"

#WaybackWednesday Little Brother's Phonte Coleman (@phontigallo) explains why "I Can't Help" is one of his favorite Michael Jackson songs, and how it is one of the few MJ/Stevie Wonder collaborations where they got it right. He also explains how the song's technical imperfections actually make it better in the end. Taken from our second ever episode of Let the Record Show with The Foreign Exchange (Phonte + Nicolay) from way back in 2016. Watch here: • Let the Record Show - ...

“Get It” and “Just Good Friends” were BOTH bangers!!!

Can't go wrong with MJ, Stevie, & Quincy

💯

"I Can't Help It" is my second favorite track by Mike! Love that song so much! Much respect to Phonte, but "Just Good Friends" is dope.

[@LetTheRecordShowTV]

Both classics

Indeed

Where was Michael off key? It sounded perfect to me

[@MrCeora]

2:28 No, that's what you call " artistry". Like the legendary Thelonious Monk once said "The piano ain't got no wrong notes"...

I swear he's just singing 9ths in that last chorus.

Just Good Friends was Great, Get it was average and decent.
