Did MJ steal a song from Morris Day?

I was listening to my old prince, time and morris day stuff the other day and I started listening to morris day's 2nd cd daydreaming and I actually decided to listen to the whole thing for once. He has a song called Moonlite(passionlite) that sounds a whole lot like remember the time from Dangerous. I mean it is almost dead on with the hooks and replace some of the lyrics and it's sounds like Mike intentionally or not took Morris's song. Since the Daydreaming Cd came out in 87 and Dangerous in 90 or 91 I wonder if its coincidence? Don't get me wrong the Morris song is crap compared to Remember the time and the music is different, but the hooks and how they sing them are pretty close. Anyone else heard the song?

I just listened to Moonlite, a fairly generic sounding song that I doubt MJ ever heard, and if he did, I doubt he would copy. I have dangerous somewhere, but my answer will be no. MJ should have ripped off Sally , great tune.

Didn't Teddy Riley write Remember The Time?Teddy was influenced a lot by Prince and his folks so who knows?
