He had been asked to contribute a song to Mike's Murder, a film written and directed by James Bridges. He ended up writing both a handful of songs and a few instrumental pieces that were released on a soundtrack album in September. Unfortunately, the film itself was not ready for release then, since it was the subject of a dispute between Bridges and the movie studio that had financed it, the result being re-shooting and reediting, such that the film did not open until March 1984, by which time it had a score by John Barry and only a little of Jackson's music remaining, and then it earned only one-million dollars during a few weeks of theatrical showings, making it a disastrous flop. The orphaned soundtrack album, however, managed to get into the Top 100 and even spawned a chart single in the Jackson composition \"Memphis\", while \"Breakdown\" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mike's Murder \/ O.S.T.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32250766360647,"sku":"37045517","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3848140_4ae5459e-060a-4910-9808-c1034a27f6f7.jpg?v=1747801395","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/mikes-murder-o-s-t-mikes-murder-the-motion-picture-soundtrack","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
