It was intended a track on Anka's 1983 duets album, Walk a Fine Line, that he was in the process of recording at the time. Anka claimed in 2009 that Jackson "stole the master tapes from Anka's recording studio. Then, Anka threatened to take legal action if the recordings were not returned. Jackson's version of This Is It was reportedly found in a box of tapes with only Jackson's voice and a piano accompaniment – the song was described as having been a "bare-bone" recording. Jackson subsequently returned the tapes, although Anka insisted that Jackson had made a copy of the recordings of I Never Heard and retitled the track with his voice to This Is It. Anka allowed Sa-Fire to record This Is It, which she did under the original title, I Never Heard. 113 Michael Jackson With The “This Is It” #118-Rock & Title song from Michael Jackson’s documentary- Jacksons #18-R&B/ rehearsal concept movie concert that was scheduled to 2009 begin 18 days after his death in 2009.
