@stonegrooved Steal? What a harsh word! There was nothing illegal or underhanded about him acquiring those songs. Paul just had a problem with WHO owned them. Before Michael owned them somebody else owned them. Why didnt he bitch about that?
@stonegrooved - ehem... did you actually hear him say that with your own ears?Yoko Ono remained friends with Mike all throughout the years. Her own son Sean grew up with Michael. What does that say to you?So what right do you have to be piss off if Yoko wasn't?
@stonegrooved Pau lowns a lot of lengendary black blues singer music ones thats alive arent makin money enough to live decently Pauls not once reached out gave back from the earnings of owning their music.MJ bought Little Richard music but he knew Richard needed to earn a iving so he was kind enough to give Little Richard his songs back sod Richard coul earn tons of money MJ owns drug head Sly of the Family Stone music. MJ set it up where Sly could recieve money from the music sells.h
what happened was The Beatles didnt understand how music was owned- so Micheal bought it legally- legal- though not exactly right morally. I hope Paul got his rights back
i love mike and paul very much, and wish that mike would have made duets with the purchased songs. I hope paul gets the rights for his songs, and not some artist that will twist and ruin them. good luck paul!
I'm both a Michael Jackson fan and a Beatles fan so for me this issue is betwen Paul and Michael, not taking sides here. However now that Michael has passed away I do hope Paul gets his songs back, knowing how much it means to him.
@TheJess1984 TRUE ....You are so right But as far aPaul geting th songs.. He do not need them Hand them down to someone else thats younger and thats gonna put them to good use.. Right now MJ mom Sony controls them..Mj younger brother Randy Jakson alone with the Sony and amily lawyer are over seeing the catalog and all other things ,projects that have to do with MJ estate.
@TheJess1984 Michael didn't took anything from Paul. It was a FAIR bidding. Paul can't not pay the price for the Catalogue and Michael outbid him!!! That's business, nothing to return.
FUNNY HOW people talk alot of shit, like they were there, paul talked great about mj on the lettermen show and SEAN LENNON (JOHN LENNONS SON) also said MJ MUSIC IS SO INSPIRING IT CHANGED HIS LIFE.
@Enslaved10 CBS bought the music for MJ MJ didnt have to put up a penny Walter Yenikoff of CBS record purchased the Beatles music for MJ cause MJ brought CBS out of bankrupt single handedly.. Thats how MJ got the Beatles songs CBS didn't know just how much the Beartes songswere gonna end worth at the time they purchased the songs for MJ..

Macca has been known to be a bit tight when it comes to money so who knows the truth? Only MJ and Macca.

It tells me that Michael was not only a talented singer, dancer but he was also a clever businessman who smartly obtained the Beatles music.

@aerosmithofficial3 Kind of, she refused to pay for John's half, so Jackson bought them instead.

Michael Jackson was a smart businessman and PAUL himself said "It was cool, at the time".
It's just business, like they both said.
I just can't believe how childish Paul's been acting about it...

How could Mike plan to take Pauls songs?
I hope that Paul get them back now that Mike is gone.

he bidded for the songs and won cause he had the highest bid...
i wonder why paul mccartney didn't bid, he was a billionare himself but apparently he didn't want to bid that much who knows
onehotminutex 2 years ago
I am pretty sure that Paul bidded to, but Mike outbid him, And Paul said that Mike planned to outbid him. Not cool.
That is at least the story as I know it.
