Ok, I'm hoping that I can get some answers from you guys regarding 'We Are The World':

1. Did Quincy Jones approach Michael about writing the song? I thought I had read up on it, but I can not remember where. I do remember Michael saying something to the fact that he didn't want to work on it and then Quincy told that it was to help the children and he agreed to do it. Or was that from Quincy instead? I can't remember.

2. Ok, so Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson both wrote the song, but does anyone who did exactly what? On the wiki it says that Lionel wrote like one line and Michael did the rest of it. Is this true? Did Lionel ever refute or address this claim (would he even have cared to)?

3. I heard that Prince kept calling Quincy during the recording until, finally, the final time Prince called Quincy told him that the recording was over and he had missed it. Any validity to this or was it that Prince just didn't work with other popular artists? I never thought that the latter was true since Prince works with other artists quite often.

4. I heard one of the artists at the WATW recording called Prince an asshole for not attending since he was under the impression that Prince thought he was too good to attend.

I have been asking around, but I can't remember where I even remember everything I have read.

1. According to Michael, Quincy did approach him about recording the record but Michael said he was tired because he [MJ] just finished Thriller and didn't want to record. Quincy did say it was for the children, which made MJ accept the offer.

2. Again, according to MJ, Lionel wrote 1 or 2 lines and said that's all he came up with. MJ finished the rest. In the 1985 studio demo, you can hear MJ pretty much coming up with the lyrics with very little help from Lionel.

3. To my knowledge, Prince didn't attend the recording but he DID send over a guitar solo for the record, but the piece was rejected.

4. Don't know about that one

Someone on Niketalk said that Lionel wrote most of it

The guy also said Michael barely wrote his own songs, saying Michael had a team of writers write the songs and he'd take credit....with his evidence being Quincy's interview on the Thriller special edition CD....although Quincy never said that

I'm trying to kill time, so I'm about to type up what MJ is saying as I'm watching the 1993 Mexico Depo.

*stretches fingers*

Come on dude, we all know MJ NEVER wrote his own songs! Dude had sooo many ghost writers!

I would upload the studio demo with MJ and Lionel, but the quality is atrocious!

The only reason I found this one was because a VIP member over at the Tribute Portrait site pasted the link for it. His name is Mengesha “Mystro” Francis,I am not sure who he is. I have never heard his name before.

Marsha originally written this for Michael to record but they never got to finish it so she did the song in his honor.

That song is blissfull. I listen mainly to older music, but this ticks every box. Are there any boards or websites dedicated to good RnB, Soul??? This would never get near a radio station in the UK which sucks.

You guys in the UK have it good though

1Xtra is more diverse than the typical R&B/Hip hop station here in the states

Sure you aren't. Just to get HD of a video they may not have.

I doubt either of them have it (Karen/Katherine) to be serious though. It's probably in the estate though.

I know they gotta have some tapes at Hayvenhurst that the estate doesn't have.

Side Note: I wonder who's sleeping in MJ's room now

I don't know. She's trying to now claim Michael wouldn't want her to leave the property. The estate keeps telling her to get to stepping but she ain't budging.

I was about to write "Nah, because she didn't start getting Jackson penis until 1990 and she's been in the family for .."

then i realized that was quite stannish so I'm just gonna say "Yeah"

Wasn't Alejandra about 16 or 17 when she first got acquainted with Randy?
