Michael Jackson He can perfectly fit into that group of musicians who are considered legends.
To tell the truth, this can be supported in many areas that this artist left before his departure.
Both in its beginnings with the Jackson 5, as in his solo careeralways knew how to shine his way of composing and by his admirable voice. Two fundamental factors in her life, which were complemented by his dance steps.
This is how he won many awards and recognitions over the years. Where it even holds the mark of having the best-selling album of all time. Something that, to this day, seems very difficult to overcome.
In fact, this album was nothing more and nothing less than the Thriller; which among many curious things, owns a song that was sued for plagiarism.
A very big musical controversy for Michael Jackson
Obviously, with so many songs designed by the King of Pop, some had to have melodies or aspects similar to those of others already created.
This case did occur, even reaching the courts, where the artist had to pay a considerable fine for everything.
In short, the piece of music that fits into this bag is “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'”which supposedly would have been a copy of a song called “Soul Makossa.”
This song belongs to the Cameroonian saxophonist and singer Manu Dibango. All because the melody was very similar and in itself traced the word “makossa”.
As confirmed by the BBC, finally after some trials, Michael Jackson ended up paying 1 million French francs (about US$200,000) to Dibango in royalties.
Something very shocking, considering that this ended up being one of the biggest hits, both the album and the pop artist himself. Which continues to sound in all corners of the world.
