Did he? I thought Quincy Jones played a huge role in his career. I once saw a documentary about song writers I had never heard of these people but they were responsible for some massive hits.

Some of them refused to work with some of the biggest artists at the time e.g. Jackson and Madonna as these stars demanded a share of the song writing credit.

Of course it can be difficult to say when someone should get credit on a song there is no doubt that Jackson was an incredible performer and he put a unique spin on the songs whether that always justified the writing credit I don't know. I guess if you are a struggling writer and MJ wants to record your song you might share credit?

Agreed, loved the bloke!! Incredible how convincing he was playing sinister characters as well in films like Insomnia and one hour photo

And what legend for giving us Mrs Doubtfire

Ayrton Senna was a genius driver in a F1 car, but he took too many crazy chances believing that God protected him. It was almost inevitable that he would die at the wheel of a race car.

anybody who ties himself to the top of a mast, on a ship in a storm, gets to qualify for the laughing-academy.
