Perhaps... but were there any truly great things he did without Quincy Jones? (or earlier without Motown’s producers)
“but were there any truly great things he did without Quincy Jones?”
He was a good dancer.
True. It's like Taylor Swift working with a top-notch producer like Max Martin, Aaron Dressner or Jack Antonoff. But it would have been very interesting to see Michael Jackson (if here were alive today); I still say he's out of the live performing business but probably learned to be a producer.
