If you're looking for a "feature" for Michael Jackson's you're likely thinking of the legendary guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen .
Eddie recorded his parts as a favor for Quincy Jones and notably did not receive any royalties or official credit on the original release.
During the recording, the intense sound from his monitor speaker allegedly caused it to catch fire.
The solo is widely considered one of the greatest in rock history and helped "Beat It" become a massive crossover success, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Additional Key Contributors
