Today in Michael Jackson History March 28th and 29th
HISTORICAL DATES
March 28:
1983 - Michael is on the cover of 'Rock & Soul' magazine.
1985 - Michael arrives at Madame Tussaud's wax museum for the unveiling of his wax model, his first public visit to England since The Jacksons' Destiny Tour in '79. London is brought to a standstill as 8,000 fans clamour for a glimpse of their hero. When leaving Michael leaps onto the roof of his chauffeured car to wave to his adoring fans. He will later be billed 2,000 pounds to cover the cost of damage to the paintwork!
1986 - More than 6,000 radio stations of all varieties played "We Are The World" simultaneously at 10:15 a.m. EST
March 29:
1971 - Jackson 5 song "Never Can Say Goodbye" is featured when they appear on Stephanie Edwards Show.
1985 -Michael leaves the Montcalm Hotel to visit The London Hospital, where he views the skeleton of Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man. He then visits the Marylebone Police Station in the afternoon to thank them for their service where he is treated to a police drill and presented with a police badge and helmet.
1992 - MTV aired My Dinner with Michael Jackson contest. 30 contests winners selected out of over 4 Million entries realized the dream of a lifetime: they were Michael’s and MTV’s special guests that night at the party, which was attended by a hundred privileged guests. The huge dinner party was held in the desert, fifty miles outside the holiday resort of Palm Springs, just yards away from where Michael had been shooting his "In the Closet" short film with the beautiful model, Naomi Campbell.
Michael, decked out in a black shirt with red epaulettes and black satin trousers, arrived at the party at 7 o’clock, and visited with the lynx, panther and other exotic creatures present before joining the festivities. He then gathered up a couple of the children who were waiting outside to meet him, and made his way into the party, where he was greeted with screams and shrieks from the waiting guests. He was escorted to the top table, where he sat down to sign autographs and talk to his awestruck fans. “He was laughing and chatting it up with everyone,” says MTV’s Kathy Flynn, who arranged for the party’s carnival games, stilt walkers, magician, palm reader, Brazilian samba dancers and Caribbean band. A camel, an elephant, a black panther and a spider monkey that drank virgin daiquiris were among those at Michael and MTV’s lavish Party.
The E150,000 bash was one of the most spectacular parties the pop world had ever seen: Michael was relaxed happy and really let his hair down. He stated "‘I’m having a wonderful time. Some of these acts are amazing. It’s a real fun atmosphere." At one point he even joined a conga line up and down the length of the makeshift tent where the party was held. As the evening went on, his smile got larger and larger. He even gave a preview of his dancing skills. Despite his enjoyment after aprox 2 hours Michael mentioned he was tired after a long day video shoot and bid his guests and Party host MTV farewell stating. ’Thanks for everything, it’s been a thriller of an evening,’ and disappeared into the desert night.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I totally enjoy what I'm doing and bringing joy into people's
lives. To me, and if I can bring one second of joy into a child
or a grown-up's life, then I have achieved my lifetime ambition.”
