The unreleased Michael Jackson music recordings




I've got to admit, when I first heard that there was a fantastic collection of unreleased Michael Jackson songs, I immediately thought of an old Superman comic book I had read ages ago.

I wonder if Michael Jackson was a Superman fan too?

Michael Jackson Left 'Dozens' Of Unreleased Songs, Tommy Mottola Says

'There's just some genius and brilliance in there,' former Sony Music CEO says of recordings.
By Gil Kaufman
Since Jackson's death last Thursday, there have been numerous reports that he left behind more than 100 tracks, and the public thirst for his music has already resulted in a stampede to stores and the downloading of 2.3 million tracks in the U.S.

Despite being labeled a "racist" by Jackson in 2002 in a very public spat, Mottola told the AP that he considers himself the "shepherd and gatekeeper" of Jackson's catalog, claiming to be more familiar with what the pop icon left behind than anyone. He said that for every album Jackson made, including such classics as his solo breakthrough, 1979's Off the Wall and 1982's landmark Thriller, the singer recorded several tracks that didn't make it onto the albums, as is common with most artists.

On ExtraTV this week, I heard Kenny Ortega mention that there were 20 - I can't recall the word he used - promotional films - I figured he meant music videos - for the This is It project.

I tried to find the interview online with no success.  Let me know if you find the quote.
