Huge Mistake By the Jackson Estate 2009-10-13 by JizzInMyPants | 12 Comments | With the release of Michael Jackson's new song "This Is It", songwriter Paul Anka threatened to sue the the Jackson Estate because they haven't asked him to use it. The Estate acknowledged his claim and granted Paul 50 percent of the whole project, including the upcoming movie for Michael Jackson which is also entitled....."This Is It"
"The song dates back to 1983, when it was known as "I Never Heard" -- a co-write between Jackson and Anka -- and intended for inclusion on an Anka album. But the pair fell out, Jackson took the master tapes and Anka got them back.
The song was eventually released in 1991 after Anka placed it with an unknown Latin singer named Sa-Fire.
Both "I Never Heard" and "This Is It" share the same vocal and piano line, although the latter track boasts new overdubs from Jackson's brothers.
But "This Is It" had been promoted as a new Jackson recording, one of a multitude of unreleased recordings likely to come out in the next few years."
