Interviewer: He [Quincy] told me a story about one song on the album; ‘Lady In My Life.’ He said to you ‘Michael I want you to do something you’ve never done on a record before,’ he said ‘I want you to beg.’

Quincy: It’s an expression we use. You say; ‘to beg,’ you know which is really a certain kind of passion that is a very very sensual feel. Michael has an innate sensual feel inside of him, but he doesn’t think of it as that. And on this one we were really saying this is the one we should try for, this is the choice we should make. Just please one time try, and he said ‘oh all right!’ he’s so shy you know, he doesn’t even like to think about something like that. So he said to close the curtains so the people in the booth couldn’t see him, and he took one shot of it. And he tore it up! [laughter] He was perfect!
