The title track of this album gave Michael Jackson his first No. 1 hit on the U.S. pop charts as a solo artist. “You’ve got a friend in me,” Jackson sings with pure childhood sweetness over an acoustic lullaby. The single, which accompanied the 1972 film of the same name, was nominated for best original song at the Academy Awards. Released just a few months after “Got to Be There,” this album follows the same formula, with Jackson tackling such songs as “My Girl” and “People Make the World Go Round,” and bringing R&B to a pop audience.
