Black or white - Michael Jackson

After two years of silence, Michael Jackson returned to the pop scene with 'Black or white', the first single from his 1991 album 'Dangerous'. Written, composed, and arranged by Jackson with the rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell, it is a song that promotes racial unity. The song's introduction and main riff are performed by guitarist Slash and Bill Bottrell.

The international audiences were obviously waiting for Jackson's comeback single, because it went number 1 in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the USA. In the Netherlands, it peaked at number 2.
