Next time you’re looking at Beatles piano sheet music and notice the publishing credit, ponder this one…
According to the ANI Newswire, the now seriously ill Michael Jackson wrote Paul McCartney into his will. Jackson is said to be giving his share of Beatles publishing to McCartney hoping to end a long standing feud between the two pop superstars.
24 years ago, after recording the corny McCartney / Jackson duet Say, Say, Say, McCartney had given Jackson advice to invest his relatively new fortune back into something he loved… music publishing. McCartney himself had purchased the publishing rights to his own boyhood pop hero Buddy Holly.
While retelling the story, McCartney mocks Jackson’s feminine voice saying “I’m gonna buy your music Paul”. McCartney thought it was a joke until the Beatles’ publishing went on the market. Jackson outbid his one-time friend and collaborator in a heated bidding war.
Flash forward 24 years, sources close to Jackson say that he always regretted having a falling out with McCartney. Jackson, who is reportedly struggling with a serious genetic lung disease, now wants to make things right. Cynics might wonder if this is another Jackson publicity stunt the magnitude that would make the Elephant Man’s remains blush.
McCartney, who never owned the publishing share of the Beatles Music, was unreachable for comment. OK, so I don’t have his number, but you were impressed for a second weren’t ya? Come on, one second even?
