soupsoup: Large portion of Beatles catalog to return to McCartney through Jackson’s will. Michael Jackson arranged to give Paul McCartney the rights to the Beatles back catalog through his will according to reports published earlier this year. The pair who scored hits together in the mid-1980’s with Say, Say, Say and The Girl Is Mine had been feuding for years after Jackson won the rights to the Beatles back catalog because of legal wrangling between Macca and John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono.McCartney for years expressed his dissatisfaction with Jackson’s maneuver and the two were never on speaking terms again. Previously, the pair collaborated on Jackson’s 1982 ‘Thriller’ extract ‘The Girl is Mine,’ and McCartney’s 1983 single ‘Say, Say, Say’ from ‘Pipes of Peace’ and forged a close friendship. This was one of the first things I was wondering this afternoon.
