Musical Interlude: Man in The Mirror (1987-8)

 Aside from a blink-and-you'll-miss-him cameo at the end, Michael Jackson doesn't appear in the video for "Man in The Mirror", the 4th single from 1987's "Bad", and the 4th straight single to hit #1.

With backing vocals by the Winans, the Andrae Crouch Choir, and co-author Siedah Garrett, who also teamed with Jackson for the album's 1st single, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Man" paints the picture, with the use of vintage clips, of some of history's worst moments, and the real-world champions, such as Ghandi, Mother Theresa, and the summit involving President Jimmy Carter, Menachem Begin, & Anwar Sadat, in the late 70's.
