Wikipedia goes into detail about who made what bits.. quite interesting..

Produced by Quincy Jones
Co-produced by Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson: Solo and background vocals
John Robinson: Drums
Douglas Getschal: Drum programming
Paulinho Da Costa: Percussion
Christopher Currell: Synclavier

And then, I cannot imagine that Quincy Jones did all the mixing & mastering himself...
Furthermore, there was MUCH money involved. When Michael Jackson wanted a REAL church choir, they didn't use a Mellotron for it but indeed a REAL choir!
