Reply to TIL the song 'Human Nature' by Michael Jackson was originally written by the band Toto for their album, 'Toto IV'. The only reason the song officially became Michael's is because Quincy Jones heard Toto's demo of the song and suggested that it would fit better on Michael's album, 'Thriller'. by EQOA_Fanatic
Key members of Toto were the studio musicians for Thriller among other MJ albums.

Go look at the list, the Acuity Flagpole in WI barely made the top 10. They love these tall flagpoles in the Middle East

Reply to TIL Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone is widely credited with introducing percussive playing on the electric bass in the 1969 song Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again). He stated that he developed bass slapping in an earlier band in order to compensate for that band's lack of a drummer. by trifletruffles
Check out Louis Johnson too. He’s the other one credited for early slap bass playing.
