Michael Jackson’s New Single Was Stolen from Paul Anka?
SO .. Ok This is It? When i first heard the new single released today by sony Music on the long awaited This Is It Album i thought i had Heard this song before. I Never Heard was recorded by Safire in 1991 and is credited to Paul Anka and Michael Jackson. Now TMZ is reporting that Paul Anka is considring Legal action. This is cut and dry.. First is the song ” I never Heard ” is identical.
Here is the link to the New Micheal Jackson single
although i predict this will be taken down fast..
TMZ now reports this from Anka
Paul Anka tells TMZ the people handling Michael Jackson’s estate are falling over each other … apologizing for “ripping-off my song” and offering “anything you want” to make the mess go away.
And, John Branca just told TMZ, “We acknowledge that Michael and Paul wrote this song together.”
As we first reported, Anka claims the new Jackson song, “This Is It” is the Michael Jackson track Anka co-wrote with Jackson in 1983, which Jackson originally recorded under the title, “I Never Heard.”
Anka tells TMZ he just got off the phone with John McClain, the co-Special Administrator for Jackson’s estate. Anka says McClain apologized profusely, saying he knew “Michael couldn’t have written this song alone. It’s not his style.”
Anka says McClain now acknowledges that “This Is It” is really Paul’s song, and said, “We’ll give you whatever you want, whatever it takes we’ll do the right thing.”
Anka says he’s not trying to hold the estate up but he wants them to be fair.
And how’s this … Anka says McClain asked him to do promotion for the song.

Michael Jackson’s estate just got a partner it didn’t bank on — because we’ve just learned Paul Anka is now a 50% partner in the publishing rights to “This Is It.”
Anka will get other profits as well, but the publishing rights are usually the big ticket item, and sources say Michael Jackson’s estate has agreed Anka gets 50%.
It’s amazing … when Paul Anka woke up this morning he had no idea he’d get the same cut as Jackson’s estate. Sadly for Sony … they didn’t know either.
