I’m dropping this question here for people with historical pop knowledge, I’m thinking about @DuranDuran, everybody can chip in of course.
When you watch a chart these days you see tons of artists featuring others artists (not talking about 50/50 duets), everybody is being credited left and right which quickly elevates the amount of hits an artist scores. My feeling says this originated from the hip/hop scene and has blown over to the pop charts.
Now about Michael he lend his vocals to several other artists as well but back then it went by uncredited. You can clearly hear MJ on songs by Rebbie, Latoya, Stevie Wonder, Rockwell, Joe Carrasco, Diana Ross, Dave Mason and probably a bunch more.
How many other pop artists did this back in the 80s or was it quite unusual?
