It’s been two days since the memorial service for Michael Jackson, but I woke up this morning still hearing the voice of Jermaine Jackson singing “Smile.” And Usher singing “Gone Too Soon.” And 20,000 voices in the Staples Center singing “We Are the World.”
In my last post I mentioned “Never Can Say Goodbye.” The song was written by Clinton Davis and made famous by The Jackson Five. It was released as a single in 1971 when I was a senior in high school. I heard it many times on the radio on the San Francisco peninsula while making flower deliveries in an old Scout International van.
“Michael Jackson’s Troubled Comeback” is among the stories in the current issue of Rolling Stone.
