How can you deny something so obvious? Michael Jackson was a great performer but his work is heavily influenced (lifted) from others

Just listen to Donna Summers work at that time (also produced by Quincy). Michael Jackson lifted stuff from her and also stole from countless others including Hall and Oates “No Can Do” (baseline is the one on Billie Jean).
Sorry but Quincy Jones opinions are just that his opinions. Scrutinize as you like but he can say whatever he likes. And yes really on the basis of his long and storied career he is entitled to any opinion he wants.
Sorry I forgot to mention that Quincy in the article clearly says that Billy Jean was STOLEN from him or whoeverever. 
Wake up HE PRODUCED THIS SONG and others on Thriller so it's clear sign of dementia not more. 

Shadorne, if Michael stole it then it certainly was not from the track QJ cited.  Give a listen and you'll find little-to-nothing similar.
