Michael Jackson songs with other artists have gone on to great fame. Michael Jackson's We Are The World, recorded with a whole chorus of famous voices, is an icon of the mixing of music and activism.

Michael Jackson and the arena rock band Queen recorded together. Freddy Mercury and Michael Jackson's signature voices melded together on what might have been an unforgettable hit. But the song was never finished. The long anticipated collaboration between Queen and Michael Jackson, "There Must Be More to Life Than This" will finally be released.

The Michael Jackson Queen collaboration will be heard d on November 11 when "Queen Forever," from Hollywood Records hits stores.

According to Hollywood Records press people, "The Queen and Michael Jackson duet, "There Must Be More to Life Than This," began as a song written by Mercury during sessions for Queen's 1981 album, Hot Space. The band recorded a backing track, but the song was never completed. Mercury visited Michael Jackson at his home studio in Los Angeles where he recorded Jackson singing the song for an unfinished version. Queen revived the track during sessions for 1984's The Works, but again it was not finished."

In 1985, Mercury released his own version of "There Must Be More to Life Than This" on his debut solo album, "Mr. Bad Guy." This new production fuses Queen's original backing track with both Mercury and Jackson's vocals. The song was produced and remixed by William Orbit, who also produces Madonna and Robbie Williams.

Orbit explained in a statement, "I had known Roger for many years, now he was on the phone asking if I would get involved in this musical adventure. When I first played it in my studio I opened a trove of delights provided by the greatest of musicians. Hearing Michael Jackson's vocals was stirring. So vivid, so cool, and poignant, it was like he was in the studio singing live. With Freddie's vocal solo on the mixing desk, my appreciation for his gift was taken to an even higher level. 

"The musicianship of all four members of Queen is phenomenal. Roger, an extraordinarily multi-talented man I've always admired; John Deacon's original bass part with its lyrical fluidity that made it easy for me to know where to put the odd reinforcement. Freddie's original piano carried most of the song's musical DNA. Brian, one take for the solo, a blur of fingers, and the spirits of MJ and FM fully present, in the moment, sending shivers down the spine."

A previously unfinished Mercury-Queen track "Let Me In Your Heart Again" that was recorded during Queen's "The Works" album sessions and a new stripped-down ballad version of Mercury's first solo hit, his Giorgio Moroder collaboration, "Love Kills" highlight the new Queen album, 

Queen guitarist Brian May describes the collection as "things that we have collected together that are representative of our growth rather than the big hits."
