  • I grew up with the music of the Jackson 5. The first glimpse of Michael’s greatness was when I saw him perform “I Want You Back” as a very young child with his brothers on TV. It was an electrifying performance and still makes me smile to remember it to this day.

    In all the problems and sadness that Michael had over his life, music and dance were an obvious passion for him, he seemed to soar and be larger than life when he performed. No one can touch his performances on stage, no one will ever do that.

    Very sad to see you go, Michael. Rest well, I won’t forget all the joy your talent has brought to my life.
