I too grew up with Michael and Janet I’m 42 yr old mom of three boys. So the pain I felt the past 2 days was so strong and surprising to me. I have never cried over the loss of a celebrity. I felt the pain for Katherine, his children and what his siblings are feeling. Then I thought of you Quincy Jones and others who were a major part of Michaels life for years. Please know Quincy we know how hard you tried and long you were there for him. He was like your brother a son a friend. I will continue to play my CDs of Michael and purchase dvd’s of his life. Thank you Michael you have always been loved
Michael was actually right. Rap was dead and Quincy was indeed losing it. He was nothing after MJ.
