One of Michael Jackson's classics, "Man in the Mirror" is relatively slow and simple so it's great for beginners on most instruments. It's topped the charts around the world in the late 80's and was remixed for Jackson's tribute tour so has remained popular. I hope you enjoy the letter notes below :)
Did you know?! "Man in the Mirror" has been covered by Adam Levine and the Glee cast.
