Say Say Say by Paul McCartney – ****

First released: 1983

Of the three songs McCartney and Michael Jackson performed together, this one is easily the best of the lot. It helped propel the otherwise disappointing "Pipes of Peace" set to a decent showing and also appeared on 1987’s "All The Best". The music video is one of the best of McCartney's or Jackson's career, featuring the two in a traveling medicine show and performing in a minstrel show. There are also extended mixes from a 12" version, but do little to add to the tight performance from the original album track and 7" mix.
