Michael Jackson singles chronology

"Farewell My Summer Love" is a song recorded by Michael Jackson in 1973. Written by Keni St. Lewis, it was later released in 1984 as a single from the compilation album Farewell My Summer Love due to the commercial interest that generated from the sales of Jackson's hit 1982 album Thriller, despite the fact that Jackson had released that album on Epic Records instead of Motown.

It hit No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart and was a Top 40 Pop and R&B and Top 20 Adult Contemporary hit in the U.S.
