"I'm Ok


it was a very sad day yesterday


MJ was fabulous at rehearsal the night before


and really happy


It was sad seeing the stage go down 





I had the fortune of being one of the very few who got to see him perform in these past months


It was incredible"


JoAnn Tominaga

Hi:
You just received a comment on your piece,

The R&B Chronicles - The Jackson 5.

jamesreiss's comment:

Ah, Michael!

A dozen indie producers may be putting together tributes to the King of Pop even 
as I key in these words the morning after his death. Until one of these 
productions is uploaded onto PRX, Jae Sinnett’s piece will fill the gap. His 
hour-long show on the Jackson 5 is like one of those slow-movement introductions 
in an old-fashioned symphony that gets going full-blast after a few minutes. 
Another way of looking at—or listening to—Sinnett’s program is to compare it=2
0to 
the Jacksons in their Garden of Eden—not too far from Gary, Indiana—before 
everything hit the fan.

Pop-culture historians and diehard fans will of course replay Sinnett’s piece if 
only to revel in the Jacksonian sweetness of doo-wop, the Motown sound that had 
gathered strength alongside that of Presley and the Beatles. But the superstar 
of the Jackson 5, that cutie surrounded by his brothers in the photo on PRX’s 
home page, stepped as far away from his siblings as his Moon Walk allowed. His 
song-and-dance routine catapulted him into an orbit we know about but seldom 
have observed so poignantly.

I don’t need to go into the details of his meteoric rise and fall. America seems 
to need sacrificial lambs more than enduring lions. Right now we’re still not 
sure precisely the cause of Michael’s death.  Whatever his autopsy turns up, his 
legacy will transcend it and the gossip that shadowed his life. Even if you 
forget his androgynous physical appearance and the timbre of his voice—and who 
can forget these things?—his gifts as a dancer are unforgivable.

Rest well, Michael.
