Hall & Oates admited they didn't make it up either

H&O said they got their riff from I Can't Go for That from another song though they don't say from where. Riffs are always created and someone interpolates it and makes it better than they did. That was the case here. Michael just made it ten times better. Nothing's too original anyway. It's just someone else knew how to make that riff work. Once a riff is there, no one can top it. That's what happened with Billie Jean, no one attempted to match it except Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean, that was the only one I can recall that tried the same approach.

Nile Rodgers did with Like A Virgin

OK, I think I know when that Thriller single cover was taken, right around October 1983-ish because that's when they started talking of the Jacksons reunion.

I've never noticed that before, but it looks like Marlon has handcuffs on. Can't really make it out though.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
