Paul Anka will get 50 percent of Michael Jackson's "This Is It"

Legendary singer-composer Paul Anka will now get his hands full after Michael Jackson's estate acknowledges his rights to Michael Jackson's just released song "This Is It". Paul claims that he co-wrote the said song originally recorded under the title, "I Never Heard" and then Jackson "stole the tapes" from the studio where it was recorded.

But before legal action do its work, administrator for Jackson's estate John McClain got off the phone with Paul and acknowledges his contribution and settle their duties to Paul.
Anka says McClain apologized profusely, saying he knew "Michael couldn't have written this song alone. It's not his style." and added, "We'll give you whatever you want, whatever it takes we'll do the right thing." -TMZ
Latest UPDATE: Michael Jackson's estate is giving Paul Anka 50% partner in the publishing rights to "This Is It" and other profits.
