HIStory - Art and tracklist Lyrics. About HIStory - Past, Present And Future - Book 1. HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I (usually shortened to HIStory) is the ninth overall studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on June 16, 1995 by Epic Records. This is Jackson’s first album on his own label, MJJ Productions, and consists of two discs: the first disc (HIStory Begins) is a compilation of some of his greatest hits from 1979 onward, while the second disc (HIStory Continues) is a studio album composed entirely of new material.

Michael Jackson's double-disc HIStory: Past, Present, and Future, Book I is a monumental achievement of ego. Titled "HIStory Begins," the first disc is a collection of his post-Motown hits, featuring some of the greatest music in pop history, including "Billie Jean," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," "Beat It," and "Rock with Yo. It leaves some hits out - including the number ones "Say Say Say" and "Dirty Diana" - yet it's filled with enough prime material to be thoroughly intoxicating.

HIStory" is a 1995 song by Michael Jackson. The original version of "HIStory" was released as a track on Jackson's 1995 studio album HIStory, but was never released as a single. HIStory" was composed by Michael Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis before it was remixed by Tony Moran in 1997. The original version contained many historic audio clips and samples. The remix does not have the audio clips and samples
