The ’80s were filled with quite a few killer collabos, but nothing beats Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney’s “Say Say Say” for me. The single was MJ’s seventh hit record of 1983 and broke single records previously held by Elvis Presley, and ironically, The Beatles. Over time, the song has become a classic, but when it was first released, some were skeptical about the duet. What’s there to be skeptical about? If “The Boy Is Mine” didn’t already tell you these two were going to be hitmakers together, “Say Say Say” made it clear.
