Michael Performed with the Jackons in "Jane Fonda's Workout"

So its not surprising to hear sales of his albums (including Thriller) have made it back on to the top 100 sales board in the United Kingdom.
What has come as a surprise is to see the sudden reinvested interest in Jane Fonda's two first two audio workouts in which Michael Jackson performs
.

Since the interview airing on British screens, we have been inundated with requests for the whereabouts of the audio "Workout" and "New and Improved Workout"
And since Thursday, emails akin to the requests from our British friends have been pouring in from across North America.
They are becoming more rarer on ebay - especially "New Workout" which can't be found very often.


Why did Jane use Michael Jackson on the first two audio workouts?
It most certainly wasn't to ride off the popularity of Michael's singing career, as the workout had already proven its self as a best selling book - which made the New York Times bestseller list.
It was probably because Jane enjoyed his music, among others which were on the aerobic records.
In 1983, (when it was cool to wear legwarmers..you remember) Jane presented Michael with an award for sales of his album.
Part of her presentation speech:
"He's the only artist I know that you can listen to, dream to and workout to - and I do all three." - Jane, 1983
