On his second solo album Michael Jackson’s catchy ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ has a cinematic quality that stands out thanks to an excellent arrangement from James Anthony Carmichael. While not a cover in the traditional sense, ‘People Make the World Go 'Round’ was actually released within a few weeks of the Stylistics' more familiar hit. ‘What Goes Around Comes Around’ is one of ‘Ben's’ better deep cuts with the vibrant melody perfectly matched to the artist's youthful voice. A pair of winners conclude the effort with the propulsive and funky ‘Shoo Be Doo Be Doo Da Day’ -- which was co-written by Stevie Wonder -- and the Berry Gordy-penned midtempo ‘You Can Cry on My Shoulder.’
