Later on in August 1972, MJ came out with his second solo album, "Ben". The title track "Ben", is one of MJ's most well known songs. It was his first #1 hit and stayed at the top of the US pop charts for a weeks, #1 on the Australian charts for 8 weeks, and #7 on British charts. Everybody knows about his pet rat (yes, rat) Ben, who he loved so much. I love this song because he sings it with such heart for his age, but it makes me sad because it shows me how lonely he was. Anyways, despite the fact that it's a song about vermin, it's oh so sweet, and here it is.
