Back on topic, I was surprised to find that many of Michael Jackson's best songs we not written by him.

Anyone have an accurate count of the songs M.J. did write?

Even a band as big as Aerosmith has had others writing their music. They
write some, but not all.

IDK why it matters so much.

Most bands don't write all their own music. Ah? hm.
It is just a well known fact.

Did some research, and Aerosmith does write the majority of their stuff
though.

I think Prince wrote all his own songs, or most, for example.

Not knocking Michael Jackson, I just thought when he was singing those songs, he was making a personal statement, that he had written.

Most of the artists I listen to most, or enjoy most write or wrote most of their own songs.

My question is which songs did Michael Jackson actually write himself, anyone know?

Of the songs he claimed to write, how many were co-written? If Mr.
Jesus Juice did as little as add a "heee heeee" he would take a
writing credit.
