Based on the following post in the "Blurred Lines" Vs "Get Lucky" thread.
[q]The song, "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough", written solely by Jackson and recorded the same year as "Shake Your Body", took even more of Gaye's approach with the entire song, using percussive instruments as the basis of the song and a continued funk guitar riff, that was also present on "Got to Give It Up". Jackson sings most of the song in falsetto though he also adds tenor vocals in the bridge. Jackson and producer Quincy Jones added in strings to make the song different and an original. Much like the party chatter in "Got to Give It Up", Jackson added in vocal chatter, however, the chatter would later be debated as two people having a verbal argument while the tape was recording (a woman could be heard hollering "man I hate your ass anyway!"). Jackson and Jones allowed the argument in the recording.

I had never noticed the resemblance between these two tracks but after reading this, it seems obvious.
To me it's a good case of someone being heavily influenced by someone else's track and make something new... and better ! (i.e not what Thicke and Pharrell did with "Blurred Lines" which is fun but still...).
