Kelly To Release Unfinished Jackson Album

R&B star R. KELLY is planning to finish and release the album Michael Jackson was working on when he died.

Kelly had worked with the King of Pop on numerous occasions and claims Jackson reached out to him shortly before his June (09) death to discuss his upcoming release.

The pair never arranged any studio time, but Kelly is convinced Jackson would have chosen him to complete his final masterpiece.

The singer tells Blackvoices.com, "I recorded five joints for Michael Jackson (in the past). And we had been talking on the phone about his new album, and I was going to finish what Michael was doing at the time. We're going to get it out though. Michael liked the way I would try to sing the songs just like him."

I can't wait for it to come out. I know you will do MJ proud. But, Please do this for Michael and his Children to make his Legacy live on and help erase some of the suposed debt that his estate was in so the kids can have the money. Not so that you can have your ego raised please.Do it for Michael......RIP my loving KING OF POP.May God be dancing to your great songs. See you in Heaven someday.

Yes, MJ had worked well with Kelly and I wish R Kelly would complete MJ's latest album with his best effort. Let Michael's music breathe and live forever. I look forward to the album's completion and release, its proof of MJ's continual existence and immortality as he had said so before that his soul can be found in his work which would live forever. Wish you the best of inspiration R Kelly.
