Thank you! No mention of any Cascio recordings. I asked Chris Cadman on Facebook (not sure if he posts here or not?) if he knew of any such thing as a Cascio recording prior to Roger Friedman's report this May, he said no, never heard of MJ recording with the Cascios at all prior to this.

That's right. The Cascio songs were first mentioned after Michael's passing.

Don't forget "The Future" with will.i.am. Also, the James Brown tribute song "I'm Missing You".
