Overview

The album features several hip-hop and R&B based cover songs of 1970s funk/soul songs by artists, including:

  • Charles & Eddie, who cover Ben E. King's "Supernatural Thing" (composed by Haras Fyre)
  • H-Town, who cover The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing"
  • Shabba Ranks, Patra, and Terri & Monica, who cover Sly & the Family Stone's "Family Affair"
  • R. Kelly and Mad Cobra (who cover Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing").
  • A remixed version of Tag Team's then-current hit "Whoomp! (There It Is)", "Addams Family (Whoomp!)", was used as the lead single.

    Paramount Pictures had signed Michael Jackson to record a horror-themed song for the film and to promote it with a video. In an attempt to cope with the negative publicity from accusations of child molestation, Jackson turned to prescription drugs and had to undergo a lengthy rehabilitation. He was unable to finish the video and his song, "Is It Scary", was dropped from the film. The song was included on his 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor (HIStory in the Mix); the video project was finished, independently, as the short film Ghosts.
