An unreleased Michael Jackson song popped up on TMZ last week that sounds very similar to the 1972 America hit “A Horse with No Name“. According to TMZ:
“[They were] told several years ago [that] America’s manager gave his group’s permission for Jackson to record the song, “A Place with No Name” — despite the similarity.”
UPDATE 3/30/215: According to Mark in the comments below:
The album booklet for Xscape states that A Place With No Name was recorded during an early Invincible session in 1998 and it was released last year.
A Place with No Name has recently been released as a single.
I’ll connect this comment with the posts on which are my best comments, kind of the best of Mark Adams. Of course, you might wonder about some of my choices, but I’ve placed an emphasis on content over presentation, ones which discuss several songs similar to each other, several additions to existing comparisons and comments which trace elements of a song back further and hits which sound like older songs.

Hehe. Nice comp!
The album booklet for Xscape states that A Place With No Name was recorded during an early Invincible session in 1998 and it was released last year.
Cool, thanks for the info!
