But really, with the logic people use to discredit Michael, you'd might as well say that Motown artists weren't very talented or important at all. Just because they had a team of people write their songs for them.

The Temptations, The Supremes, The Four Tops, Martha and The Vendellas.

They weren't that great were they? I mean, Berry Gordy, Norman Whitford, Barrett Strong, Ashford & Simpson, Frankie Wilson, Smokey Robinson. Those were the songwriters, not them.

So before you say The Temptations were the greatest R&B group of all time, just remember. At least Color Me Badd wrote their own songs.
