The song "Dear Mama" uses a sample from "In All My Wildest Dreams" by Joe Sample. -- œ ^™ 04:01, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Liner notes on Tidal music service credit Joe Sample with keys (presumably including the intro) on The Jackson 5's I'll Be There, on their Third Album. He may appear on other tracks. Those notes also indicate this was the highest-selling track for among the highest-selling groups of the era, so seems too significant to omit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sworked (talk • contribs) 01:07, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
