JACKSON'S LOST TRACKS GRABBED BY SISTER LATOYA
A treasure trove of unheard MICHAEL JACKSON recordings were removed from the King of Pop's estate by his sister LATOYA hours after the pop star's death in June (09).

Hard drives containing new songs and unreleased tracks from Jacko's career were collected by his sibling - and now there's a fight between the Jackson family and the executors of the pop star's estate brewing over who will have the rights to remaster and release the tunes.
The King of Pop's manager Frank DiLeo tells Rolling Stone magazine there are over 100 songs that remain unreleased, including tunes Jackson worked on with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo.
DiLeo was trying to persuade the pop superstar to release six songs from his most recent recording sessions at the time of the singer's death.
The svengali tells the publication, "I said, 'Produce them,' and he said, 'Naw, I'm not ready for you to listen to them.'"
And DiLeo insists that lost songs are being unearthed almost daily since Jackson's death.
He explains, "There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are just sensational."
Last month (Jul09), Jackson's former producer Samm Brown told WENN there were at least 100 unheard tracks lying in the vaults of the singer's former label Motown.
Brown said, "Michael was such a perfectionist and he had a lot of stuff that he didn't use. I know for a fact that Motown (record label) has a deep vault and I would say there are 100 or more tracks sitting at Motown alone.
"There will be somebody in his (Jackson) camp who will want to release all of the lost tracks he recorded - dating way back to the 1960s. There's huge money to be made off of these recordings."
