Sonic 3 composers say Michael Jackson did indeed work on the game’s soundtrack

Did legendary music artist Michael Jackson contribute to Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s soundtrack? That question has long been something that no one has been able to answer with absolute certainty. However, a new article from may finally clear up the situation.
The Huffington Post reached out to several songwriters who were involved with Sonic 3. Brad Buxer, Doug Grigsby III, and Cirocco Jones all claim that Jackson did indeed work with them on the game’s music. Not only that, but the three men also say that these tunes ended up in the final game.
Here’s the notable excerpt from The Huffington Post’s piece:
“Sega maintains it never worked with Jackson on Sonic 3, and is “not in the position to respond” to questions about allegations to the contrary. “We have nothing to comment on the case,” the company said.
But the men whom Sega credited with writing the music say otherwise. Six men — Brad Buxer, Bobby Brooks, Doug Grigsby III, Darryl Ross, Geoff Grace and Cirocco Jones — are listed as songwriters in Sonic 3’s endgame scroll. Buxer, Grigsby and Jones tell The Huffington Post that Jackson worked with them on a soundtrack for Sonic 3 — and that the music they created with Jackson ended up in the final product.”
