We have a winner!

Now...where's my special prize?

Rod Temperton

I was just asking DH if MJ wrote all his own songs. (Music and/or lyrics) I wonder if MJ even played an instrument?

Quincy Jones was a genius with a real nose for talent.

Congrats!

I was just asking DH if MJ wrote all his own songs. Guess not this one.
Quincy Jones was a genius with a real nose for talent.

Yes Quincy wrote for MJ too, but I figured his face would be too recognizeable so I chose the underrated Temperton. I find it amazing how little attention the actual SONGWRITERS get for the success of pop stars. Diane Warren anyone?

Quincy Jones' best work by far is the Sanford & Son theme.
