“The Lady in My Life” was one of the most difficult tracks to cut. We were used to doing a lot of takes in order to get a vocal as nearly perfect as possible, but Quincy wasn’t satisfied with my work on that song, even after literally dozens of takes. Finally he took me aside late one session and told me he wanted me to beg. That’s what he said. He wanted me to go back to the studio and literally beg for it. So I went back in and had them turn off the studio lights and close the curtain between the studio and the control room so I wouldn’t feel self-conscious. Q started the tape and I begged. The result is what you hear in the grooves." Jackson, Michael. Moonwalk: A Memoir (pp. 197-198). Crown.

Alan Jackson used to own a share of that bar he filmed the video at. Jimmy Burg is the major owner. Jackson was a strange dude. Did his backyard in turf on Jup Island and got to know his property manager. He'd call her when he landed in Palm Beach expecting the fridge to be full, etc. - w/ no notice. He also had these radio shack-like rock speakers outside that had to play loops of his music all day, even if he was in Nashville. And there were video/audio cams to make sure it happened.
