Adam Rafferty – “I’ll Be There” – Jackson 5 – Solo Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar

Here’s another song I had been working on prior to mj’s passing. I love how he sings this as a kid – really soulful, gospel, motown flavored belting-it-out!!! I had a this vision of MJ going into the afterlife, and feeling relief from the worldly junk he dealt with. The first “throng” of the strums symbolizes his passing and the simplicity of the melody statement keeps in mind the pure essence of who he was – passing into the next realm. Ok, I am a creative kook – but this is another more introverted dedication to MJ. Thank you for the music. I played this song on a Cole Clark Fat Lady Guitar (FL 2AC), and recorded audio on a Studio Projects C3 Mic into Digital Performer.
