I actually heard another interview with Quincy and apparently he did get his way on shortening the intro to Billy Jean. I guess Michael wanted it to go longer because he felt it made people want to dance. I'm glad Michael gave in to Quincy on this one. Quincy also went on to say that he thinks Michael didn't trust his judgment after and around "Bad" because Quincy was involved with producing rap albums and Michael felt rap was dead. This was around the late 80's early 90's when rap was actually on the verge of exploding. It's a damn shame Michael didn't stick with Quincy longer, I bet they would have continued making magic together.
