Love you Michael. Your music was my growing from a child to an adult and now nearly a pensioner. I loved you in Jacksons Five to Off the wall and from then onwards. What an inspiration you have been to the world. Showing your love through your music and reachin out to the rich and the poor the sick and the healthly the black and the white. The bad and the good.
May you sing with the angels and rock their world like you have ours.
Be at peace now out of harms way and remember those that loved you for your compassion and music to the souls.
RIP xxxx
