Welcome to Michael Jackson Memories
Michael Jackson 1958-2009
Michael Jackson was an artist beyond his years, and to really look back at all of his accomplishments is beyond incredible. But he wasn't born into the spotlight of fame. The achievements he won for his many albums and singles weren't handed to him on a silver platter, and to sell out concert venues worldwide took sincere dedication toward his craft. Remember: "wanting" isn't always "getting." Michael achieved "greatness" as an entertainer because he worked for it. He had a solid goal and that was to create lasting music that entertained listeners of all ages and generations to come. The key to it all: work. Michael was a working artist since the age of 5, who knew what it took to accomplish a dream.
As a writer who admires Michael Jackson for his timeless music and for being the humanitarian that he was, I wanted to put together a Web site that highlights his work through others who witnessed his dreams firsthand. Michael Jackson Memories is my personal portfolio of articles I've written that feature interviews from songwriters, engineers, photographers and more who have worked with him, and as the journalist who wrote the articles, I was touched by the memories mentioned, dating back to Michael's years at Motown Records. I hope you enjoy the memories shared, but most importantly I hope you realize that Michael Jackson was truly loved.
Michael Jackson Memories is dedicated to the Jackson 5 - Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael - the group that changed my life at the age of 13, by inspiring me to learn who I was and continue to become as a Music Lover.
