Kelly and Babyface to produce single
Jackson is indeed in Los Angeles recording his charity single, "From the Bottom of My Heart." For the last two nights, Jackson has had pop and R&B artists come over to Conway Studios on Melrose Avenue to add vocals to the project. A person who answered the phone at Conway confirmed the story today.
I’m told that Jackson managed to get just a smattering of acts to come over to Conway, including The O'Jays, Snoop Dogg, Ciara, Shirley Caesar and James Ingram. The word is that Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and R. Kelly are producing the track.
Kelly is an interesting choice, since he’s currently awaiting trial in Chicago on 14 counts of child pornography relating to a video that showed him having sex with an allegedly underage girl.
The fact that Jackson is in Los Angeles is a surprise to many.

Michael Jackson has spent the past two nights at Los Angeles' Conway Studios overseeing recording of a single to benefit victims of the recent hurricanes, Billboard.com has learned. Although the song was originally titled "From the Bottom of My Heart," Jackson spokesperson Raymone Bain says the artist will unveil a new name for the track in the coming days.
Bain says that since early this month, Jackson "was in London tweaking the music as well as putting the finishing touches on it before sending it out to various artists" who he wanted to contribute. However, Jackson wound up rewriting the song, and as such, "he didn't need as many artists as he originally had planned for" when it came time to record.
