I recall hearing this piece of shocking news.  On Aug 14, 1985 Michael Jackson outbid Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono for the ATV music-publishing catalog. Jackson paid $47.5 million for the rights to more than 250 songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  Back then, that was a lot of money, right?  Your chance to win with the Classic Rewards Club - Login and enter today's keyword "Lennon".  Good luck and thanks for listening!
