Remembrances of Michael Jackson

Michael Joe Jackson has been away from us for a year .It is hard to believe that he is away from our midst .I remember wanting to be like the Jackson 5 as a kid growing up in Oak Cliff.The first time I saw Michael he was a spinning whirling dervish of 8,and in a very short time he was recognized by all as a child prodigy.

I bought all the records, ABC ,Never Say Goodbye, and many others. America rushed to these 5 young brothers from the hood because they were wholesome .Wholesome enough to come into our kitchens and living rooms on Saturday Morning !

I like that vibe so much, but we must interrupt this blog to bring you this commercial sponsored by Alpha Bits and The Jackson 5!

As you grow up , you must put away childish things.We all wanted to Michael be his own man and he left his brothers and escaped to the stratosphere with ....

Michael cemented his SUPERSTAR STATUS AS THE KING OF POP at the Motown 25 when he turned out the most seen live performance in world history.

For each post we all memories of Michael,I chose to remember Michael not for all of the jokes,and tabloid stories.Michael died on the cusp of old age for each generation, my generation and even my daughters who were born over 20 years ago, Michael will always be forever young.Michael we miss you - you are right we all need to make a change.
