Topic: Rd 4 - 5 - Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited v 2 - Michael Jackson - Thriller

[Igbo]

Highway 61 is so much better than Thriller my brain hurts thinking about it.

i have a good stress relieving chant that will calm the brain.
repeat after me, slowly building in tempo:

Mama-say....     mama-sah      ......    ma-ma     ....coo-sah


Mama-say.... mama-sah.... ma-ma-coo-sah


Mama-say mama-sah ma-ma-coo-sah
Hoo! Hooo!

MJs idea of deep and thoughtful lyrics

Technically, MJ didnt write that. He lifted it from Manu Dibango's classic "Soul Makossa."

FYI & FWIW,

Michael Jackson has songwriting credit for four of the nine tracks on Thriller. QJ shares songwriting credit on just one.

Other credits:

Michael Jackson:   Arranger, Composer, Drums, Guitar, Handclapping, Horn Arrangements, Producer, Rhythm Arrangements, Sound Effects, Stomp Board, Synthesizer Arrangements, Vocal Arrangement, Vocals, Vocals (Background)

Quincy Jones:   Arranger, Producer, Rhythm Arrangements, Vocal Arrangement

Tough choice...

Writing, perhaps. Arranging and creating the sound? Nope. Jones is responsible for how that album sounds. I stand by that statement.

check out this Beat It demo.  Michael could not play instruments, but the arranging and sound is all his on many of his songs.
