"A Place With No Name" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. A 25-second snippet of the full song was released posthumously by website TMZ.com, following the singer's death in June 2009. The track resembles "A Horse With No Name", a hit song by rock band America. At the time of the leakage, America stated that they were "honored" that Michael Jackson chose to sample their work. It is unknown whether the full version of "A Place With No Name" will ever be released, though it has been claimed that there are "dozens and dozens" of unreleased Jackson songs that could be issued for several years to come.

Here is a short clip that was looped over and over

He got permission from them to use it before he recorded it.

I'm a big America fan too. I got to hang with them at a gig one time. Nice guys.

America had the same producer as the Beatles, George Martin.
