This often springs to mind when I listen to the J5 tracks produced by Bobby Taylor. Then I start wondering what he and the Michael of the Off The Wall period could have done together. Another person that always comes back is Stevie Wonder. Based on I Can’t Help It they both fit together like a glove. Then there is the stuff Michael did with Buz Kohan which imo is pure magic and a concerted effort between themselves could have resulted in a brilliant fairytale album.
Last but not least I think and I’m in the minority here that Paul McCartney and Michael were a perfect match. Their 3 songs together, 2 of them produced by The Beatles’ George Martin were fantastic. So Martin producing a duets album with Paul and Michael would have been great imo. Martin also was pretty impressed with Michael as he said in an interview that there was an aura around Michael in the studio.
His discography would have been richer and more diverse imo. Maybe all of this could have happened if thriller didn’t become such a behemoth of an album. For 3 years running it completely destroyed all competition which was and still is completely unseen in music business.
