Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson are two of the most recognized, appreciated and successful musicians of the last 100 years. McCartney is an English singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who first gained worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles. Jackson was an American musician, entertainer, and pop icon whose successful career and controversial personal life had been a part of pop culture for almost 40 years.

Jackson was an American musician, entertainer, and pop icon whose successful career and controversial personal life had been a part of pop culture for almost 40 years.
The unlikely duo collaborated on three songs in the early 80s- "The Girl Is Mine", "Say Say Say", and "The Man". All three tracks attracted critical praise and commercial success, blending lines between pop, soul, and funk. McCartney also wrote the lyrics for Jackson's 1979 hit "Girlfriend".
Jackson's and McCartney's creative co-writing ended after Jackson outbid McCartney for shares in ATV Music Publishing in 1985 (a company which owned the publishing rights to most of the Beatles' songs). Ironically, McCartney had been the one introducing Jackson to the expanded legal world of publishing and licensing music. McCartney took issue with many of the publishing decisions of Jackson over his work, thus bringing them into personal conflict. Although never quite resolving the issue, McCartney's anger faded, and he later remarked, "I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael".

Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney Lyrics
Step right up, step right up, come on gentleman, gather around
Let me tell you all about the Michael Jackson wonder potion
It's guaranteed to give you unbelievable power
Say, say, say what you want but don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need but don't leave me with no direction
All alone I sit home by the phone waiting for you baby (baby)
Through the years how can you stand to hear my pleading for you dear?
You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah
Now go, go, go where you want but don't leave me here forever
You, you, you stay away so long, girl, I see you never
What can I do, girl, to get through to you
'Cause I love you baby (baby)
Standing here baptized in all my tears, baby through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hee, hee, hee
What you say, say, say, what you say, say, say
You never ever worry and you never shed a tear
You're saying that my love ain't real
Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying
You, you, you can never say that I'm not the one who really loves you
I pray, pray, pray every day that you'll see things, girl, like I do
What can I do, girl, to get through to you
'Cause I love you (love you) baby (baby)
Standing here baptized in all my tears, baby through the years
You know I'm crying, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, say, say, say
Ooh, ooh, ooh, say, say, say (fire, fire)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, say, say, say
You never ever worry and you never shed a tear
You're saying that my love ain't real
Just look at my face, these tears ain't drying
You, you, you can never say that I'm not the one who really loves you
I pray, pray, pray every day that you'll see things, girl, like I do

!!! Micheal was blessed with the voice it was his gift. We all have gifts find yours
George Of Steel
It's amazing how MJ's voice is so commanding but so high pitched. One of a kind.
Gwendoline
Three and a half man, but mr Mc Cartney has a second wife
TwistedGamer
Joe Rogan said it's because Michael was castrated at birth to keep jiz voice high but at the same time keep him frustrated so he would have an angry rock tone
emi grace
Michael’s vocals are just electrifying in this song
