TMZ.com is reporting that Michael Jackson's posthumous tune, "This is It," which was released on the Internet at midnight, may well have been plagiarized.
The reporters at TMZ talked to music legend Paul Anka, who claims that he wrote a song and created a demo with Jackson in 1983 called "I Never Heard." While that song went unreleased, Jackson, Anka alleges, made copies of the tune, and simply renamed it "This is It."
In fact, Anka's song was released in 1990 by another artist. While it would not be right to pass judgment, the similarity is indeed uncanny. TMZ has copies of both songs, so you can compare for yourself.
