Everyone can talk about Michael Jackson, but He and his brothers were a group that gave rhythm to the World. Regardless of tabloid news, I think the Jackson Five were instrumental, and important to Music History.
They added a sound that people could boogie and rock to.I do feel sad for Michael's Family and offer respects to his brothers and sisters.

I'm the same age as Michael. I had the priviledge of seeing the Jackson Five in concert as the opening act for Elvis Presley in the 70's in Las Vegas at the Hilton they came thru the inside of the hotel where we were standing in line for the show. What a extremely talented family. Criticized for anything and everything they do no one knows if all that is true or not, media can always bend the truth when they need a story. He was a father, brother, uncle & son and one of the greatest entainer ever. Now that he is gone, lets not sling dirt on his memory. We are the only country I know of that bad mouths our entainers in the media.

I had the pleasure to see Michael Jackson in concert at in Houston, Tx where I live. He was SPECTACULAR. It was a concert like no other. He gave us all the energy he had in his body. His talent is unsurpressed and no one can ever come close to it in my opninion. He will live forever in our hearts and minds. I prefer to remember the Best of this man, not the negative; we all have negative things about us all. L.T. in Houston, TX.
