Dangerous (Andy Taylor album)

Dangerous is a 1990 covers album by the British guitarist Andy Taylor, who is most famous for his work in the band Duran Duran. It was a follow-up to his earlier solo album Thunder.

Andy Taylor commented on the history behind the album in and interview with MelodicRock: "It sort of one of those happy accidents. Somebody…a very well known band had this idea to do that and they wanted me to produce the album for them, doing this selection of their favourite covers. At the very last minute they pulled out. And I said to the label – A&M – I could do that. The guys that managed me at the time went into overdrive – 'you can do that as well, because you know how much money they are going to pay you to do it?!' I thought, great, this is something everyone wants to do – an album of their favourite covers. The reason things are so raw, was that within 3 days we were in the studio recording this thing and it was done in that sort of 'ok, let's rehearse them and beat the s##t out of them and play them and move on and just play them as you would do if you were in high school playing a bunch of covers!' It was done in that very short space of time and raw, upfront way. We had a blast doing it!"

The album was not widely promoted and had only limited success. Taylor's popularity had dwindled since leaving Duran Duran in 1986 and this album struggled with sales because of it. However, two singles were lifted from the album: "Lola" and "Stone Cold Sober", with "Lola" making UK #60. Both singles were accompanied with all black and white videos.

Ironically, Duran Duran, the band Taylor left, would release a cover album in 1995 with Thank You, with mixed results.

Highlights include the bouncy album opener "Don't Believe a Word" originally performed by Thin Lizzy and "Mustang Sally" originally performed by Wilson Pickett in 1966.

Dangerous would not be officially available in the United States until 2010, when Taylor's complete catalog was available to online music services such as iTunes.

The album produced four top ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100 including one number-one.

Dangerous took over a year in production.

Nine singles were released from Dangerous between November 1991 and December 1993, with seven singles issued in the United States, and two others released only outside the US.

Dangerous was the first album to be produced fully by Jackson, with additional production from his friend, Bill Bottrell, and Teddy Riley. Jackson wrote twelve of the fourteen songs on the album. Dangerous received several Grammy nominations, winning only one for Best Engineered Album (Non Classical) by Bruce Swedien and Riley. The album also got three nominations at the American Music Awards of 1993 ultimately winning 2 awards mainly: Favorite Soul/R&B Single for the single " Remember the Time" and Favorite Pop/Rock Album for the album itself.

Dangerous (Michael Jackson song)

"Dangerous" is a pop song by African American recording artist Michael Jackson. The song appeared as the fourteenth and final track on Jackson's solo studio album of the same name, released in November 1991. Written and composed by Jackson, Bill Bottrell and Teddy Riley, the song was planned as the tenth single from the album, set for a January 1994 release. However, these plans were canceled due to allegations of child sexual abuse which were made against Jackson in August 1993, Jackson's health concerns, and the failure of the previous single, " Gone Too Soon".

Prior to the planned release of the song, "Dangerous" received a positive reaction from contemporary critics in reviews of the track's parent album. Although the song has not been released as a single, "Dangerous" entered music charts in mid-2009 after Jackson's death in June. Jackson also performed the song live. In 1994, songwriter Crystal Cartier alleged that Jackson, Bottrell and Riley had plagiarized "Dangerous". At the subsequent court hearing the judge ruled in favor of Jackson, Bottrell and Riley, due to lack of evidence; Cartier was refused the right to appeal her case.

Near the end of Dangerous: The Short Films, the song is played over footage of various performances during his Dangerous World Tour.
