Michael Hutchence & Jenny Morris Duet ‘Jackson’
« Michael Hutchence is no.1 again this week on the ARIA Digital Album chart! | Michael Hutchence hits #1 all across Europe on iTunes! »Michael Hutchence & Jenny Morris performed 'Jackson' at the 1984 Countdown Video & Music Awards (held in 1985) at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.
Jackson was recorded by Michael Hutchence along with Jenny Morris, Michele Bennett and Nick Conroy (Castles of Spain)
"Because Jenny and I…we used to listen to it all the time and went down to the studio and recorded it – really sloppily I might add. Just sort of one take stuff. Just had a lot of fun and then suddenly we dragged it out onto Dekadance and it went onto the country charts" Michael said.
Jenny Morris: "My first experience with INXS and certainly wasn't to be my last. Each of the guys took control of a song on the 'Dekadance' project and this was Michael's choice".
Dekadance was a remix cassette of tracks from The Swing Album. It stayed in the top 10 album chart in Australia for about 3 months which was amazing for a cassette-only album at the time.
In 2006 Jenny Morris released 'Clear Blue In Story Skies' where she recorded a cover of the INXS song 'This Time' as a tribute to her friend Michael Hutchence.
Watch Michael & Jenny perform the song on the Countdown Awards. That year INXS won 7 awards for 'The Swing' Album, including Michael Hutchence winning Best Male Singer!
