Some good tid bits…. Going into the Thriller sessions Quincy Jones declared we are going to create the album that’s going to save the music industry

Members of Toto played as studio session artists on a few songs

Janet Jackson Latoya Jackson and Mindy Kohn from the facts of life serve as backing ( stacked) vocals on PYT


Eddie Van Halen did the solo on Beat it for free…. When Quincy called him he kept hanging up on him cuz he didn’t believe it was Q calling

I’ll post more tid bits

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Best selling album of all time and that’s not even factoring the bootlegs and cassette dubs

Wanna be startin something

As it was the last song picked for the album, Human Nature almost didn’t make the album it came down to Human Nature or this



they made the right choice

MJ and Chris Brown? A double whammy of white outrage

u know calls were made, pressure was applied to cancel that

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

MJ was getting 2 dollars off of every Thriller album sold….one of the highest royalty rates for an artist signed to a major label ever

He was getting Cam at Koch splits while being on Sony. Different.

MJ made $2 for any unit sold? Straight to his bank account? That's a win
