In this Questlove Show mini-episode, Questlove revisits the making of Michael Jackson's HIStory with a previously unreleased encore segment from the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis interview. Ahmir unpacks the track’s orchestral scale, Boyz II Men vocals, and marathon mix sessions with fellow producers, breaking down why “HIStory” feels like MJ’s “Night of the Living Baseheads” moment.
From there, the conversation pivots to mailbag questions from podcast supporters about Jam & Lewis’ creative synergy, Prince deep cuts, and Questlove’s new Rolling Stone feature ranking 100 essential Prince songs.
