    Was he virtuoso though? I feel like his best work was with Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton and without them he was just meh.

        Only two and one co-written on Off the Wall and three and one co-written on Thriller (although they are bangers). He did write most of Bad but anything outside of that is imo sub-par. I’m not denying he had a lot of talent but I think he’s far from a virtuoso.

            Not trolling. I don’t find his solo work without Quincy Jones that exceptional. Granted the Jones stuff is amazing but Michael wasn’t able to replicate that on his own.
