I think that I heard somewhere that Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote this entire song in one day. Does anyone know if that's true? Thyroidpsychic 00:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there any way of identifying all 45 performers? We can't leave out Dan Aykroyd. --Feitclub 21:52, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image request
 |
It is requested that an image be included in this article to improve its quality, if possible. This image request is for scan of cover art from the single (or album). |
Does anyone have an image of the single or album cover that we could add to the article? Or a publicity shot from the studio? -- Scarequotes 01:03, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] copy of song
[edit] Randy Jackson
This needs to be confirmed but I think Randy Jackson should link to the Jackson 5 one, not the American Idol one.
[edit] Lyrics
Are we allowed to just reproduce the lyrics like that ? Isn't it copyright violation ?
How about if we link the lines with who sung what ? -- Beardo 16:42, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I have linked the artist with the part of the lyric he/she has sung -- Shankat 18:20, 30 March 2007 (India)
