Liberation of Suppressed Gems in MJ’s Song Vault Pending Clarification of Ownership

The legal clarification on ownership of the suppressed gems in MJ’s song vault will be the only hold up before new Michael Jackson music is heard.

There are reports that Michael Jackson had a vast amount of unreleased music that his fans will be able to enjoy for years to come.

Sony Music owns the distribution rights to Jackson’s music and Tommy Mottola, Sony CEO from 1998 to 2003 said, “There are dozens and dozens of songs that did not end up on his albums. People will be hearing a lot of that unreleased material for the first time ever. There’s just some genius and brilliance in there.”

Mottola added the releases “could go on for years and years–even more than Elvis.”

Some of the vault material includes unused tracks from Michael’s previous bestselling albums and newer recordings of songs with R&B singer Akron and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

Since Michael Jackson’s death, his music has been in unprecedented demand. Nielsen SoundScan said Wednesday that three of his records ,”Number Ones”, “Essential Michael Jackson” and “Thriller” were the best selling albums of the week and 2.3 million tracks of his have been downloaded in the U.S. alone.

The King of Pop may be gone but thankfully his music will live on for a long, long time. Watch MSNBC video of Jackson’s Rehearsal Video clip less than 48 hours before his death-
