The Only One

 

In our darkest hour

In my deepest despair

Will you still care?

Will you be there?

In my trials

And my tribulations

Through our doubts

And frustrations

In my violence

In my turbulence

Through my fear

And my confessions

In my anguish and my pain

Through my joy and my sorrow

In the promise of tomorrow

I'll never let you part

For you're always in my heart

ON THIS DAY IN MICHAEL JACKSON HISTORY MARCH 25 1983- It's been 39 years since Michael Jackson took the stage to perform his first moonwalk to an audience of 47 million people.

Michael Jackson was performing his new song 'Billie Jean' on March 25 1983, ( The show was seen on Television for the first time on May 16,1983)when an extraordinary moment took place that changed dance history.

Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever is a 1983 television special, produced by Suzanne de Passe for Motown Records, to commemorate Motown's 25th year (Motown was founded in January 1959). The program was taped before a live audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on March 25, 1983,and broadcast on NBC on May 16. Among its highlights were Michael Jackson's performance of "Billie Jean" (which popularized the moonwalk). IT is one of those moments that you never forget where you were the first time you saw it! After the performance,Michael said "I'm never satisfied, Even when I see something that I've done, and people say: 'Oh it was phenomenal'.

"When I did Motown 25, and I did the moonwalk for the first time, I was backstage crying afterwards because I was unhappy."

"But then I was walking to the car there was this little boy who was like 12, and he said: 'You're amazing! Who taught you to dance like that?'"

"And for the first time I ever felt like I did a good job," he concluded.

"Because I know children don't lie, and I just felt so good about it."

Message from Taj Jackson…

"The more I work on this docuseries, the more it becomes crystal clear that the world desperately needs someone like Michael Jackson more than ever right now. Unfortunately a lot of people completely took him for granted while he was physically here with us.

Now the world is slowly starting to realize how rare and special someone like Michael Jackson truly was. In a society that rewarded the selfish, Michael Jackson was the definition of SELFLESS.

He was LOVE. He was HOPE. He was LIGHT. He was someone who transcended all religions, ages, races, and politics.

The other day I was editing never before seen footage of my brothers and I with my uncle Michael and it brought back all these amazing feelings.

I even said out loud to myself while it was still playing…

”I got you uncle Michael”.

Looking back, It was a strange thing to say out loud when you are all alone… but I meant it with every single fiber of my soul.

I got him!…matter of fact....WE got him.

His legacy WILL be cemented in history as the incredible person and human being he undeniably was. WE will make sure people know THE TRUTH. And I am so grateful to have your continued support and trust on this journey. WE GOT THIS!

Let me say one last thing as I think it needs repeating.

I will NOT STOP fighting for my uncle and the truth. I also have NEVER stopped working on this docuseries and will never stop until it is completed and released, as promised.

Okay..This post was supposed to be short and not a novel… lol.

Speaking of novels, my uncle always had classic books in his Neverland library. I use to love the way these books specifically looked and felt. They were timeless.

This is by no means the official artwork for the project. Just something for me to use to visualize as a template for what “Uncle Michael would do”." March 2022

TANTI AUGURI MINA

Oggi compie la bellezza di 82 una delle artiste che ha fatto la storia della musica italiana, una delle voci più belle di tutti i tempi. Ecco cosa la grande Mina disse su Michael il 27 giugno 2009 a "La Stampa", erano passati due giorni dalla sua morte e lei gli dedicò questo ricordo riuscendone a coglierne, secondo me, l'essenza e la fragilità:

“Se ne è andato un bambino. Che, probabilmente, non è mai stato veramente felice. Un bambino di cinquant’anni. Che non trovava pace nella continua ricerca di modificarsi per unificarsi a un modello che, forse, nemmeno lui aveva ben chiaro.

Tante facce, troppe facce e nessuna definitiva, nessuna serena. Se ne è andato un bambino.

E con lui se ne è andato il suo talento. Adesso, quelli della musica «dotta», sia classica che jazz, riusciranno a valutare il suo lavoro più serenamente.

Lo avevano soprannominato il re del pop. Termine vagamente derisorio se non dispregiativo col quale si usa definire la corrente musicale di carattere commerciale. Ma lui immagino che ne andasse fierissimo. Era esattamente quello che voleva. Arrivare diritto al cuore di tutti. E il bambino che se ne è andato, lì è arrivato e lì rimarrà.

Nonostante la sua storia personale molto dura. Un padre violento che lo segnerà e atterrirà per sempre togliendogli dalla faccia e dal cuore anche il più piccolo segno di spensieratezza. Michael lo aveva dolorosamente svelato prima nella sua autobiografia Moonwalk, poi ne aveva parlato, fino ad arrivare alle lacrime, nell’intervista televisiva di Martin Bashir, nel 2003, dove raccontò che il padre, durante le prove o le sessioni di registrazione, ad ogni errore lo picchiava con la cintura o con qualsiasi altra cosa gli capitasse sotto tiro.

Una notte, mentre lui dormiva, il padre piombò nella sua stanza da letto dalla finestra indossando una maschera terrorizzante e urlando a squarciagola. Da allora Michael soffrì di incubi e visse nel terrore che qualcuno lo rapisse.

Non c’è bisogno di scomodare Sigmund Freud per capire che da quel lungo trauma non è mai guarito. Le cifre della sua carriera sono fantasmagoriche, le più alte in assoluto sia come numero di spettatori che come numero di dollari percepiti. Eppure il bambino se ne è andato lasciando un mare di debiti. Un mare di chiacchiere. Un mare di delicati problemi legali. Un mare di parassiti. Un mare di enigmatica equivocità.

Ma la musica, purtroppo o per fortuna, la musica non prende in considerazione alcuna piccolezza terrena, la musica rimane al di sopra delle teste dei suoi portatori, la musica svincola dalla storia umana. E il bambino che se ne è andato lascia dietro di sé l’oro della sua arte e il disegno animato delle sue sembianze fisiche.”
