ON THIS DAY IN MICHAEL JACKSON HISTORY- FEBRUARY 4 - In 1990-

Michael Jackson joined other stars at the Sammy Davis Jr 60th Anniversary TV Special, musical gala honoring Sammy Davis Jr. SammyWere Davis Jr TV Special aired on ABC on Feb. 4, 1990, with all proceeds, $250,000 being donated to the UNC Fund.

Michael performed "You There", which he wrote with Buz Kohan especially for the occasion. The night before the tribute show, Michael and Buz Kohan, who wrote the script, went in the rehearsal hall and wrote a song. They arranged it overnight, and the night of the show was the first time he'd ever sung it. Michael stepped from the glare of several spotlights to perform, "Your Were There". Michael's touching tribute brought tears to his idol, who was then battling throat cancer. After Michael finished the performance with one hand raised in the air, he walked over to Sammy and hugged him warmly. Other performers included Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Ella Fitzgerald to name only a few.
