“At the end of an afternoon, in our third week of rehearsals, I was strumming the guitar completely focused, with my head down, eyes closed, listening carefully to everything that was happening.
For no particular reason, I looked up when the music stopped playing and there he was ... Michael Jackson, at the rehearsal door, smiling and shaking his head splendidly at the music.
I was never a guy dazzled by the stars, but this man had a completely different level of charisma. The eyes of everyone who was there jumped out, and they stopped playing when they realized he was there.
Even former professionals, used to being close to big stars, were fascinated. “ Oh God! Why did you stop playing? '' Michael said with a laugh. “That was great! '' So, here was the best of the dancers, the most famous, dominating MTV and Grammy, the best artist in the entire universe. He appeared to be six feet tall, slim but athletic, dressed casually in a brown jacket, like a band leader, with silver buttons, worn jeans and black shoes.
It looked incredible! Remember that we were in the Thriller era. Many of the big stars I have worked with are often not fun. There was the case of Michael Jackson. The first thing that fascinated me was how easily he smiled and laughed”. - by Gregg Wright, (guitarist who played with Michael on the Victory Tour)
