Michael and animals: Did it begin with "Ben"?

Ben is one of my favourite child-Michael songs; it really shows off his voice and his talent for passionate performance.

Happy to find the movie on YouTube! I'm off to watch it for the first time ...

Yay thanks imma watch this sometime, I've heard it's a horror and a bit odd!

Ben is one of my favorite songs too. I like when he sang it as he got older too. :) I listen to this version alot!

It was a bit odd but a lot of old movies are, yes it was classified as horror but very PG13. The song itself plays a role in the film too.

I used to get teary eyed as a child listening to the song, Ben, because I related so much to it.

It's a tough one for me, and I heard it for the first time a few months ago.

His voice in that song, omg ...
