A Celebrity tribute to Mr. Jackson is at the end of this blog. You can say whatever you want about Michael Joseph Jackson, but you'd better ad TREASURE in every sentence. The last time I saw America in slow motion like this was when President Kennedy was shot. We also want to send our condolences to the Farrah Fawcett Family.
Everyone has a Michael Jackson Story, here is mine.
I was in Las Vegas backstage at a Glady's Knight / Temptations show. I saw Mr. Frankie Valli and started talking to him about his artwork; an iron gate opened and a gray Cadillac came through.
A man with a veil stepped out and walked by us to go stage left into the audience. Mr. Valli told me "That was Michael Jackson".
That's my Michael Jackson Story. I got this depressing news from a friend of mine, Radio Host Jeffrey Henderson who was very upset when I spoke with him "Michael Jackson is gone" "gone where?" I asked, he told me Mr. Jackson died.

He also told me that there were people walking around in a daze in his Beverly Hills neighborhood like they were in shock.
His death didn't hit me until now. I have seen many great people in my lifetime leave us but have never seen a World Treasure until now.
The entire world has been affected by the passing of Mr. Jackson; the world will never see another human being or force like him again.
This man had no boundaries, people that hate each other with every fiber of their being listened to Michael Jacksons music.
No matter your station in life, economic strata or beliefs, everyone listened to Michael Jacksons music this is why I say we have lost a World Treasure.
We have many national treasures, and icons; and people when they walk into a room cause instant pandemonium, but this is the first and only time in my life I have ever seen a World Treasure.

Let it never be said that there is no value in a human being.
Mr. Jackson had foibles like anyone else, imagine having to live your life in a fishbowl; so i've come to cut him some slack when i've heard of some of his mishaps and will always treasure and admire his talent.
To my readers in the hip hop and rap world remember this as long as you live, Michael Jackson broke down the doors for you in mainstream America if it wasn't for Michael Jackson, you would never have seen a person of color on MTV or VH1; so before you make fun of him you'd better always remember, if it wasn't for him...there would be no you !!!!
A lot of kids are going to college because of that frail little man with enormous talent putting their parents to work.
We at Ringboyz extend our love and prayers to Mr. Jacksons Family.
Rest in Peace King of Pop.
