I remember being at a movie poster show in a Hollywood hotel (not
the Roosevelt) about 25 years ago (long before the Courts Shows
started)---and suddenly there where whispers among the crowd that
Michael Jackson was there. After a few minutes, he walked by me,
wearing a fedora pulled down over his face and his trademark
surgical mask. Surprisingly, no one appeared to bother him at all
(although there was no hiding the fact that he was Michael Jackson).
He seemed to be a truly troubled spirit, but arguably the
greatest performer in all of our lifetimes. I've never been a huge
fan of his, but I'd give him the nod over Elvis. Just think of all
the millions of fans around the world who are deeply affected by
this tremendous loss. I don't think any other entertainer will ever
fill the void---as strange at times as it may have been. Sure, he
had flaws--gigantic at times--- but his talent and musical vision
will always be remembered with respect and fondness,
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but one of our
fellow movie poster dealers/collectors, Deke Richards, co-wrote
probably a dozen Jackson 5 songs, including some monster hits
(A.B.C. is just one that comes to mind). He knew Michael before
all the changes began---to his face and otherwise...
