Originally named "Heartbreak Hotel", "This Place Hotel" was a hit recording by The Jacksons when it was released in 1980. Written by Michael, the song would precede Jackson's own hit "Billie Jean" in its insecurity-plagued tale of confusion. While his brothers did not sing background vocals, they were credited with playing percussion on the single while brother Tito contributed a guitar solo. The song reached number twenty-two on the Billboard Pop singles chart and number two on the R&B singles chart when it was released and became the group's second-biggest single off their "Triumph" album, behind "Can You Feel It". The hit single has also become one of the most-sampled songs in hip-hop. The single's title was changed because of the 1956 Elvis Presley hit, "Heartbreak Hotel". In his autobiography, Michael Jackson reveals that he was not a fan of his future wife Lisa Marie's father's music, and it did not enter his mind when writing the song. This channel is dedicated to all the great 'old school' R&B music I grew up with, the stuff that originally made me tap my feet and want to be a DJ. Funk, soul, disco, R&B, dance, hip-hop, pop . . . 60s, 70s, 80s . . . whatever you call it, it's all 'Old School' and it's all here!
