"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" is the first solo song written by Michael Jackson, although " Blues Away" had been released in 1976. Quincy Jones has backed Phillinganes' allegation. Nevertheless, many pressings of the single list both Jackson and Phillinganes as composers. Soon thereafter, however, he was informed that his contribution would be considered merely an arrangement. In a speech at the 2016 Red Bull Music Academy, Greg Phillinganes alleged that Jackson played him an early demo of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and said "it needs another part," after which Phillinganes suggested the bridge, and the two agreed to rate his contribution at 10% of the song. Upon playing the recording to Jones, it was agreed that the song would be featured on Off the Wall. Jackson reassured her that the song was not a reference to sex, but could mean whatever people wanted it to. When Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, a devout Jehovah's Witness, heard the song, she was shocked by the lyrical content and felt that the title could be misconstrued as pertaining to sexual activity. As Michael was not a keyboardist, although certainly capable of playing piano, he had his brother Randy perform the melody on a piano in the family's recording studio. He found himself humming and singing it while walking through the Jacksons' Encino home. Jackson claimed that when the melody of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" came to him, he couldn't shake it off. These included " Workin' Day and Night", "Get on the Floor" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". After listening to hundreds of demos, the two decided upon the ones to record. Jones suggested himself, and the two began work on Off the Wall. After the filming, Jackson, who was still a member of The Jacksons, approached the film's musical director, Quincy Jones, to ask if he knew of any producers to help with Jackson's future solo endeavors. In 1978, Jackson starred as the Scarecrow in The Wiz, an urbanized retelling of L. The song also won Jackson his first Grammy Award and American Music Awards.
