“Butterflies” by Michael Jackson

Witten by Marsha Ambrosius as part of Floetry

Michael had long since reached a plateau that no one could ever touch by the time he received “Butterflies” so it was surprising to find out that he would accept a song from someone virtually unknown. But he did get the song from Marsha and he LOVED what he heard. In fact, he loved Floetry’s demo version so much that Marsha said he didn’t even want to sing the song and thought they should keep it.  It is an absolute gem of a song.

    No shockers here. But did “Floetry” write butterflies or did Marsha write it alone?

    How could they forget “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera was written by Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes? Linda Perry wrote a ton of stuff for Christina and Pink.

    LOVE this post. I’m always super impressed, like you, when I find out that great vocalists are also great songwriters – especially when it’s a song that makes me go “REALLY?!” with a smile. Beyond the groove factor, two words come to mind: KA-CHING :D … especially when said song(s) is a hit. Can you say Neyo anyone?
