Does Michael Jackson own the Sly Stone (Sly & The Family Stone) catalogue too?

Someone just told me he owned all of Sly Stone's musis too along with the Beatles?

I thought Sly Stone owned his own publishing?
 
lol. fivestar is the man.










michael - "i have one of those... and one of those.. ooh.. and one of those... and one of those...."
 
I can confirm he does. He also owns large portions of Little Richard and Elvis' catologue. He owns 50% of the Beatles, while the other 50% goes to the members of the band unevenly. John (now Yoko Ono) and Paul have equal shares while George has a smaller share and Ringo has the smallest.

MJ owns everything. You too.
 
I did some searching on this after I posted the topic. His music royalties go to MJ. His writers royalties go straight to the IRS.

I say it's a smart move by MJ cause I'll take "There's a Riot Going On" over any Michael Jackson album any day :p
 
When asked if MJ was in debt in 2003, some guy revealed he owns Norah Jones ( or some recent hit artists') music
