Heard a report he recorded at least 1 finished track every day that went into the vault.

Didn't realize he wrote so many songs/lyrics for other performers that were hits.

Had total control over his music,record companies listened to his demands.

One of his CDs had no little lines between tracks..he said the songs were arranged to be listened in the order they were recorded,he didn't want people to skip tracks to only listen to a few songs.

Seemed like a very creative/powerful entertainer,and not my cup of tea,but I hate to see anyone die.
