ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Renowned songwriter and associate producer of Michael Jackson's iconic "Off the Wall" album, Tom Bähler, unveils a remarkable tale of serendipity, as he delves into the captivating narrative behind his composition, "She's Out of My Life." This compelling story takes us on an unexpected journey from Tom's initial connection to the legendary Frank Sinatra, ultimately leading the song into the hands of a young Michael Jackson, a prospect that had never crossed Tom's mind.
At its heart, this narrative revolves around themes of love, self-discovery, and unwavering faith in one's creative partnerships, even in the face of unforeseen twists. Tom's exploration of his songwriting process is nothing short of a masterclass, offering invaluable insights for songwriters at all levels.
Tom shares the mystical moment when he tapped into a universal force that responded with resounding inspiration, swiftly transforming his vision into musical notes. Moreover, he unravels how his initial course for the song underwent a profound transformation when he entrusted his long-time friend and superstar producer, Quincy Jones, to take the helm. This marked the genesis of a transformative chapter in Tom's career, as he began collaborating with both Quincy and Michael together, having already worked with them separately for years. The triumphant trio of "Off the Wall," "Thriller," and "Bad" would go on to etch their names in music history, with "She's Out of My Life" chosen as the inaugural track to set the stage.
Tom also provides keen insights into how these three albums played a pivotal role in propelling Michael's evolution from a singer that sings other peoples music, to a multifaceted artist encompassing singing, songwriting, dancing, and visual artistry. As the music industry experienced seismic shifts with the advent of MTV and advancements in recording technology, Tom emerges as a visionary who not only foresaw these changes but also knew precisely how to leverage them. His contributions alongside Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson would leave an indelible mark on the musical landscape.

What I'm grateful for is the fact that this is been archived for future generations ...Legacy
I swear, this has got to be one one of the most important channels on youtube. The stories and history that is being revealed will now be forever available to the public. The details are delicious and transport you into these precious spaces where so much that defined generations of musical enjoyment was made. Anthony, you are the perfect vehicle to take us on this journey. Listening to you reveals why you were called into these hallowed rooms in the first place. Thanks for doing this and now letting us into YOUR room.
totally agree!!
‘YOUR room’, metaphorically, and literally, LOL! Truly, this is ethereal. Also, something very special that comes through here is Quincy’s belief in people, like Larry Carlton and Greg Phillinganes, time and time again, and their ability to lift the whole project. I really have no words for how special this is. Thank you! 👌.. 😀
Amen to that. Greetings from a MJ fan since begin 60. Greetings from Holland.
I totally agree. Only found this channel in the last couple months. The first few day I realized the deep historical importance of AnMar documenting all these important people and stories. It’s future of national archive type content. The importance of the anecdotes, his calm demeanor, and his ability to further expand and enrich on his visitors comments(even down to him explaining abbreviations that only those in the know understand) make this a crucially important record of these amazing technologies and musical milestones. The only thing I wish he’d explain in a segment are his maintenance, cleaning ,and dusting regimens to keep all this gear to near pristine mint conditions. Thanks so much Mr. Marinelli. Amazing work sir!!! Please keep pushing the boundarys of everything you do. Peace, love, and cheers to all who enjoy this channel to the fullest!!!
@danielstoddard943 in reference to your mention about cleaning and caretaking for his instruments: that could be a good video to team up with Dr. Mix on, to have them swap & share tips when it comes to their all around maintenance!
Nothing like hearing the songwriter sing his or her own songs. Chills
This Channel is a goldmine of information on how it was and still should be done! thanks for the effort and contributions you have made Anthony! 1st class as always.
Every time one of these Tom Bahler videos comes up I balk at the running time, start watching, and I immediately want it to be twice as long. He's an amazing storyteller and I can't wait to hear more.
Wonderful to hear Tom playing and singing his iconic song
One of the best videos I have ever watched …
Man I wish Rod was still here with us.
Imagine Rod & Anthony sitting down & going over the process & all the stories .. My goodness Pie-O-My …
I smiled, nodded, laughed and got emotional during this interview. Thank you so much for documenting these stories which give the human context to our favourite songs. And for being such a good interviewer including 'leaving room for God'. I'm not religious but I still understand it as 'social spirit'. Thank you for allowing us into your memories.
great great storyteller...if there is a real story of a human heart behind a song, you feel that as a listener...today, when 10 songwriter write a song, they mimicking a song, which become too flat .. no way there can grow an intimate feeling through that process with 10 songwriter
She's out out of my life 😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭this song is soooo emotional 😢
This is one of my favorite songs ever. So incredibly well-written and just incredible to sing.
Real songwriters ❤
Anthony and Tom, this is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Keep doing more of these Anthony… generations to come will study these as they study Mozart, Beethoven & the rest …
Nad is such a story teller ❤
Thank you Anthony, thank you Tom!! Wow!! Just wow!!
Thank you for the great interview with tom...what a man and what a song and a music legend...had the pleasure to play in zermatt Switzerland ..were tom would have a ski week in the alps with his friends...the greatest moment was in 2007 when tom got up on my keyboard in ibiza spain and played shes out of my life to a full bar...he brought the house down with cheers of joy...a pleasure to know tom and to have him at the murphy brother gigs...god bless your old keyboard friend bob
Two music legends and all those wonderful synths but you guys use a stock censorship beep? C'mon now, let's get a CS80 censorship beep, or a ARP2-D2 Beep! ;)
Teasing aside, what a great video. I love these stories. Thank you so much for sharing these moments.
Wow Tom really touches the heart
Love this story, I have heard this before, the publishing company was A.T.V. publishing I believe, Thank you for this, just a heads-up too, the camera kept cutting out
Great story behind this song! Being a recent divorcee I can relate to his story about soul searching and being ready to be a part of another relationship. It takes time and being honest about oneself.
What a special and touching rendition
Another great video straight from the heart of Tom Bahler, Thanks!

OH HELL YES !!!
Wow, who would have ever thought I'd see Tom Bahler singing She's Out Of My Life! Just amazing.
I could never thank you enough for sharing the in depth life behind the music that has always been so important to me. The technical knowledge you share and behind the scenes information is amazing. This is like a master class. Thanks so much 🙏
So great! Looking forward to watching it. Thank you Anthony for all those instructive videos. For keyboard players who are Mj fans the same time like me, it's a dream come true !
Such wisdom; even when I expected to receive some great knowledge, I wasn't ready for how profoundly it'd strike me. I really hope to take some of these lessons to heart when I'm ready to create and just generally in life.
Ab-so-lu-te-ly wonderful......I get it now, the why, it cuts like a knife.
I keep saying it - Thank you!! I've never felt more connected to the soul behind the making of Of The Wall and Thriller than I do now, watching these videos!
As somebody who is trying to learn music, this is a great insight into what true music makers are able to do right from the heart and in their minds, and to not relying on technology to do it for you. In today’s world of AI created music, this brings the idea that music is deep within one’s self, and not an algorithm.
Thanks for talking so broadly about things. I didn't expect to go in here and experience something therapeutic. Thank you guys.
Wow monde blowing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 a part of history
Salute to Tom. I love this song!
Anthony, what a wonderful piece of MUSIC HISTORY! Hearing from Tom reminds me the stories that my father shared to us at the family dining table, after the gigs. Love and respect from the son of an Italian pianist.
Wow, cuba just came up in this interview 😄❤
Thank you
Would love to have heard Lou Rawls sing it like he did Lady in my Life
You know, I can't imagine anyone but MJ singing this. The breaking in the voice is something I'm not sure a mature man could pull off, and it adds so much to the pathos.
What a MASTERPIECE ❤
What an amazing chat we had a few minutes ago. Thank you Antonio for sharing your life to us. 🎉
Wow.. deep.. thank you! 🙌
SO many wonderful gems and stories in this one. I love the 10 fingers "these are finite" statement. Amazing.
I confused this song with another under appreciated Michael ballad ‘One Day In Your Life’. And another thing, I subscribed mostly for synth-talk, but goes to show you what I know. This is GOLDEN!!!
These are the stories we love and need to hear! Bravo!!!
Hi Anthony,
Think so so much for this great video and the presence on the Legendary Tom balher
Just fantastic interview
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow! Wow! Wow! This one was spiritual for me. I needed to hear "Tapping into infinity" and "Leaving room for God". Thank you!
I love your Channel and this vidéo IS in the Heart and History of the music. Thanks you Anthony
Amazing. Enough said. Amazing. Thank you for that
HE WAS THERE. 🙏🏾🥂🔂♥️

This is my new favourite video on all of youtube, thank you so much anthony and tom!
Great channel Anthony. Excellent content.. love it all
So informative.
powerful video, thanks anthony, thanks tom
God bless for sharing this Anthony, its truly wonderful.
Anthony, yet another masterpiece! I always thought this song was written by MJ, and was (correct me if I’m wrong) written at the time his grandmother passed… I had no idea that this song literally sat for two years and was about Tom’s missed opportunity instead… very interesting history about the song! Yes, please do more! I learn so much about the music I grew up on. Also, curious to know if anyone on the crew met up with Weird Al Yankovich at the time? Al was using part of Michael’s set for Bad.
Great interview about a great song. I used to try to play it on sax but it's so powerful I could never make it to the end 😢.
May Yahweh bless you brother and thanks for the video 🙏
Incredible! Keep it up. ❤
50 minutes blew by in a flash. Amazing video and stories from Tom. Anthony, thanks for this channel - please keep doing what you're doing!

Another superb video by both of you! Thanks again Tom and Anthony. Hugs to both and blessings. P.S. Never knew Tom wrote that awesome piece. *Salutes*
I can't thank you enough for this episode, Anthony & Tom!
I'll never forget reading your name in the credits of She's out of my life, as the song affected me deeply upon first listen. Never would have thought I'd see something so wonderful and insightful as this video.
Wow, I always thought Michael wrote that song. 😮
Is that a SEM 4-voice in the background? 👀
That is an amazing interview . Thank you
Incredible interview. In the nick of time. By Godly intervention, I feel.
Awsome , Great stories from Tom again

Wow more great, its like a real live movie bud so emotional, my hart is crying big tears. To hear how one off the greatest ballads ever written by songwriter Tom Bähler and produced by Quincy Jones and Recorded and mixed by Bruce Swedien and sing and perform by the great
Michael Jackson.
The story you both tell is so great to hear, its nice how all these great people work together for one perpus, make a great song that last for 200 years.
Its verry sad that MJ and Bruce S are gone to soon.
Its touch me really, great to hear this story's about the best people how make the best music ever.
