Remove "Michael Prince" from songwriters/composers of "Get Your Weight Off Of Me"[edit]

Michael Prince is WRONGLY associated with the title because he TALKED about discovering the song on a hard drive he was given. He did NOT work on the song and he says so clearly when he gave an interview. Michael Prince did not work on any songs from the recording sessions with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Korgnex (talk • contribs) 19:10, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
