“There haven’t been all that many legends in show business:- Garland, Sammy Davis, JR., Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra. But legends are born…and when you see Michael on stage you just know that he’s a born star…there’s just something…undefinabl e about him that makes him totally stand out. When he walks into a room, and his age doesn’t make any difference, he just has that presence - that thing that has driven audiences into frenzies for years and years. Charisma. Sex appeal. Overwhelming talent. It’s all of those things. But it’s also something else, something intangible. And that’s what makes the really great stars of all time.” Rock and Soul Songs 1973
“
If he wouldn’t have had his fans, it would have been almost impossible for him to find a further meaning of life. If he felt bad and down we cheered him up with fan gifts and letters. And he loved it from his very heart. First and foremost the paintings. Not only in those hard times, but always. No matter where we’ve been – if fans were around and he saw drawings and paintings, he always said: ‘Get me the pictures, get me those pictures!.The fans meant everything for him. They were his family. They were his crutch and they gave him strength. More than any other thing. And he loved them above all things for that. And he told this to his children too. Every time, in any place where we stayed in hotels he showed his fans to his kids and explained to them what the fans mean to him and how much they love him. His family were there and it was good that way. But Michael’s strength and comfort came clearly from the fans. He loved them beyond words…this closeness and love – it came rather from the fans.

“No living tenor has ever projected at this decibel level. What really get me jealous, if I’;m going to be totally honest, is his genius for holding high Cs steady while gyrating at a velocity previously unknown to man.”
- Neil Shicoff, Metropolitan Opera tenor on Michael Jackson
