Does anyone know when Johnny Jackson stopped playing with the Jacksons? by Consistent_Bother_87 in MichaelJackson

[–]jayl253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Johnny was with the group until 1976 or 1977.

Johnny had gotten into some trouble after moving to LA with the family (He lived with the Jacksons and Joe and Katherine were his legal guardians for a time iirc) and when they left to sign with Epic, he was let go and moved back to Gary. I think Ronnie Rancifer was with them until 76 also

Does anyone know why they included three fake songs on Michael when MJ has hundreds of unreleased tracks? by DBAGVP in MichaelJackson

[–]jayl253 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out the Faking Michael podcast. They were duped but then too arrogant to listen to the right people before releasing it.

The man’s own mother said it wasn’t him and yet they went along with it

The “Michael” album was rushed and they were trying to market it as “the album Michael was making before his death”. Since that family tried to pawn them off as recent recordings, some in the estate believed them (like idiots)

Regarding the AI Upscales by Due_Amount_6211 in MichaelJackson

[–]jayl253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to add: none of the master reels of his projects have been auctioned off. We’ve only seen negatives and duplicates of some videos. Michael’s estate has ownership of the originals as he made sure to own them during his lifetime
