Michael Jackson's song Ben was on the album Ben. It was his 2nd solo album. It was also his first solo number 1 hit. The song Ben was also on a movie of the same name. Hope this helps. God Bless. RIP Michael Jackson.
He wrote it for his pet mouse. Sorry, not true. "Ben" was written by Don Black and Walter Scharf and recorded by Michael Jackson for the Motown label in 1972. Originally written for Donny Osmond, "Ben" was offered to Jackson as Osmond was on tour at the time and unavailable for recording. The single, theme of a 1972 film of the same name (the sequel to the 1971 killer rat movie Willard).
Ben is a rat from a movie which is also called Ben, it not about Michael's pet. Despite being a sweet happy song, Ben is actually a Horror movie about evil rats.
No, it was written by Don Black and Walter Scharf.

Ben is the first well known song that he did not do with the Jackson 5
yes he didDid he?the song ben was not written by Michael Jackson. It was written by 2 guys one of which was Don Black. Ben was written for the Movie sequel of "Willard", which was titled "Ben in 1972. The song was written for Donny Osmond and it was decided by Black to let Michael try and the rest is history.So, if Michael Jackson had a rat named Ben, it was well after the song was written and the song had no initial ties to Jackson...
