I remember reading on Datalounge (a site that worships FOL) a few months ago that Mindy had revealed that she and Kim (as Kim had known Janet from her Good Times days) would hang out with Janet Jackson a lot in the early 80s and in one occasion ended up going into the studio when Michael was recording Thriller, becoming uncredited background vocalists on P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing). Has anyone else ever heard anything about this? Janet and La Toya were credited in the liner notes, but never seen Kim or Mindy in it.

Has anyone else ever heard about this claim?

Yes, we discussed that in the past on here. There was probably lots of back up singers for it.

I know Mindy has confirmed singing backup for Michael Jackson (https://pagesix.com/2020/07/20/facts-of-life-star-mindy-cohn-reveals-she-sang-on-michael-jacksons-p-y-t/). I don't know about Kim, but Kim was tight with Janet.

The only way I can see that happening is if Mindy and Kim's mics were secretly turned off and they were never told. :lol:
