Michael Jackson in 1984

Michael Jackson was an American musician and entertainer. He is known to have written, recorded and filmed material that has never been officially released. Many of his unreleased songs have been registered—usually by his company Mijac Music—with professional bodies such as the United States Copyright Office, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI), American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency (CMRRA) and EMI Music Publishing.^[1] This list, however, only documents the songs explicitly cited as unreleased, and therefore does not contain every unreleased Jackson song registered with such bodies.

In 1993, Jackson—along with Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton and Joseph Jackson—faced a copyright infringement suit. The lawsuit came after three songwriters alleged that the pop star and his fellow defendants had plagiarized the hits 'The Girl Is Mine', 'Thriller' and 'We Are the World'.^[2]^[3] During a seven-hour deposition, Jackson named numerous unreleased songs that he had written or co-written.^[1]^[4] Following the testimony, a nine-member jury found the defendants not guilty.^[5]

Michael Jackson A Place With No Name

Many officially unreleased Jackson songs had been scheduled, at one point, for release, through ways such as his six solo studio albums with music label Epic Records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), HIStory (1995) and Invincible (2001) and the remix album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997). For varying reasons, the tracks were rejected and, as of 2019, remain unreleased. Jackson's unreleased material includes songs recorded as a solo artist (including covers of songs released by other artists and the Jackson 5 songs) and demo versions, some featuring established artists such as Freddie Mercury and Barry Gibb.

In 2009, after Jackson's sudden death, La Toya Jackson said that she had discovered two hard disks at her brother's home which contain more than 1,000 unreleased songs, many of which were unregistered.^{[citation needed]} It has been said^{[by whom?]} that Jackson, in his lifetime, recorded more than 50,000 songs.^{[citation needed]}

Several of Jackson's songs have been leaked onto the Internet, such as a 24-second segment of 'A Place with No Name' leaked by TMZ.com following Jackson's death.^[6] At the time of the leak, it was claimed that there were 'hundreds' of unreleased songs by Jackson, and that they could be issued for years to come. The curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jim Henke, noted that any future releases would garner significant attention.^[7]^[8]^[9] On March 16, 2010, Sony Music Entertainment signed a record-breaking $250 million deal with Jackson's estate to retain distribution rights to his recordings until 2017 and release ten posthumous albums—some of which will feature unreleased material—over the next decade.^[10]

The World's Fair (which visited Chicago), The Chicago Tribune (local newspaper), Al Capone (of 'The Chicago Outfit' fame), and so on. While making these citations it tells the story of a mysterious disappearance in the area. 'Three girls disappeared on a cold windy night, never to be found again, never to be found again!' sings Jackson in the first verse. 'Who solved the mystery late Chicago night? Ya can't hide the truth so won't ya turn on the light,' he continues in the choruses, before launching into a flurry of high-pitched 'hoo-hoo' and 'hee-hee' ad libs. The track finishes with Jackson chanting 'Chicago! Chicago!' over and over in his trademark, gritty (slightly angry) vocal-style. The track was constantly on Jackson's mind over the course of his career, and was worked on during the Invincible sessions and again at Neverland in 2004.' Song is cited in Frank Cascio's book My Friend Michael The lyrics tell a story about three girls who went out at night and disappeared Hook is 'Three girls disappeared on a cold windy night, never to be found again, never to be found again!
