The “Girl is Mine” was a mash up of two icons from different musical genres. The song peaked at #2 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the R&B charts. The collaboration was revolutionary in a time in which artists did not “genre hop” as easily and calculating as they do in today’s music. It is the type of collabo that makes you scratch your head until you hear the actual track- then it all comes together. My favorite part of the song is the friendly banter that begins around 3:00. Sadly, the friendship between Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson did not last, as they had a falling out over Michael’s stake in the catalog that holds rights to the Beatles music. What is your favorite part of this song?
