Get It

About Get It

"Get It" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder with a guest vocal by American pop recording artist Michael Jackson. Taken from his 20th studio album Characters, the song was third single released from Wonder's album. Jackson and Wonder had a history of collaborating with each other over the years. The first dating back to 1974, where Wonder crafted and produced a Jackson 5 album, which was eventually shelved. (One of those songs recorded, "Buttercup" appears on the 2009 compilation album I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters, released after Jackson's death. ) That same year, Jackson and his brothers provided backing vocals to Wonder's hit "You Haven't Done Nothin'" from his parent album Fullfillingness' First Finale. Coincidentally, both Wonder and Jackson were both part of an all-star choir including Donna Summer's 1982 single "State of Independence" and 1985's "We Are the World", which Jackson co-wrote and both singles produced by Quincy Jones. Jackson worked with Wonder again for the song "I Can't Help It" for his 1979 breakthrough album Off the Wall, which was written by Wonder and former Supremes member Susaye Greene. Within a year, Jackson also did background vocal work on "All I Do" from Wonder's platinum-selling Hotter than July album. more »
