...and Sammy hung out with Frank and Dean.
MJ hung out with a monkey and little boys.

For a minute there I thought you said spanked his monkey with little boys.
Sammy Davis Jr. was one heck of an entertainer.
As far as influencing future generations of artists? Michael Jackson is in a category with The Beatles, Elvis, and Mozart.
No, I'm not kidding.
... that's not food.
Not a bit. Show me a dancer now that doesn't know how to do the moonwalk. Find me a musician that won't list Abbey Road as one of the most influential albums ever.
Side note: who owns the rights to the Beatles' music now? Michael Jackson did - who gets control of them?
... that's not food.
Maybe not, but he made it known.
And he does own a patent for the gadget that let him do the lean in the Smooth Criminal video.
... that's not food.
MJ and it's not even close.

"you are a disgusting pig and should be punished for such vile language. Would you like your mom to see that you wrote that? YOU=Disgusting pig."
"you lack any semblance of taste and suggest substandard upbringing and education"
"Guess what? You're a ****ing dildo!"
"You're an asshat!"
"racist pig by any chance?"
Would you believe I've heard all the songs on both but don't own a copy of either album? I need to fix that.
Oh, and buy some of the older MJ / Jackson 5 stuff.
And Stevie Wonder.

as an entertainer they might be close, but MJ's music far surpassed anything just about anybody has ever put out
He owned it jointly with Sony, and Sony was using it as collateral for a bunch of loans they made to him. If the estate is able to make good on the debt, then the rights will be jointly controlled by Sony and the trust MJ set up with his mom as trustee, I presume. If the estate is unable to make good on his debts, it's Sony's to do with what they please.
"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked."
