In 1974 with Australian entertainer Jamie Redfern who had this to say:

"Some of the fondest memories of touring with Liberace would have been many things - meeting some of the world's greatest entertainers and sitting on Ginger Rogers's knee, and Jack Benny, meeting Jack Benny not long before he died, and Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, who were just hilarious. And meeting the Jacksons. I remember that...Michael Jackson wanting to meet me. And Molly Meldrum ringing me up and saying, "Michael wants to meet you. Would you like to meet him?" I said, "What are you talking about, 'Would I like to meet him?'" I taught him tenpin bowls at the Southern Cross when that was going, the bowling alley there. Just tremendous things and the lovely memories."

That's not Michael!

DANGEROUS Tour ~ Though posted before I thought it would be nice to complete the feature, to hear again from the 'Rocket Man' who participated with Michael for the illusion at the end of the show. Michael with 'Rocket Man' Kinnie Gibson' and his children ~ Kinnie remembers the Dangerous Tour, and Michael's 'big heart for kids'.

MCKINNEY, TX - Professional stuntman Kinnie Gibson is today preparing for his next adventure, but it is one that happened 16 years ago that still stands out. A 1993 phone call from Michael Jackson's manager saying The King of Pop wanted what's called a rocket belt in his upcoming tour.

Kinnie Gibson says, "At that time I was the only person who had a rocket belt. We were the only rocket belt company in the world...There wasn't anybody else to call."

Gibson and his rocket belt joined Jackson's Dangerous tour for 43 shows. It became signature finale. He says, "The fans loved it. They just went absolutely crazy." The launches also became the subject of widespread speculation, which Gibson's wife, Sheri, saw firsthand. She says, "The papers were always wondering where did he go, where did he fly to? Where did he land? And how did he get out there? If it wasn't him on the machine who was it?"

Over the years, Kinnie Gibson has been asked the question too many times to count. I, of course, had to ask one more time, "Was it you flying with the rocket belt or was it..." Gibson didn't let me get far. He smiled and finished my question. "Was it me or was it Michael? You know I think it would be good to just leave that as a mystery." Gibson says that's how Michael Jackson would have wanted it.

During the four months Gibson toured with Jackson, he says he was consistently wowed by the performer and the person. He remembers a genuine man who was kind to his children and others. All his actions contradictory to criminal allegations.

Kinnie Gibson says, "Everything that I saw Michael do was very good. He on his days off when we were in all these different cities, he would go to orphanages and visit with kids and say hi to them and sign autographs. He just really had a big heart for kids."

From interview with Rodney Fong:
MJ: I heard that Michael Jackson came in the middle of the night.
RF: Yeah, that’s correct. He chose to come at about midnight, with his crew, and wanted to personally take a look at the figure. In fact, we made a second copy of the figure, for himself personally. For his own home, or home use.
MJ: So he has a wax figure that you made, in his home.
RF: Correct.
MJ: What did he think about it?
RF: Oh, he loved it. In fact, the costume, the outfit that we have on the figure, he donated. So he brought that in.
MJ: So that’s his real costume.
RF: That’s right.
