[h=1]Jacksons on Franklin: Local Artists Recall Brush with Pop King[/h][h=1]<cite class="byline" style="font-style: normal; color: rgb(131, 134, 137); margin: 5px 0px 0px; font-size: 12px; text-transform: uppercase; display: block;">BY SARA DABNEY TISDALE</cite>[/h]


A photograph of a young Michael Jackson on tour in Richmond, published in Style Weekly following Jackson's death last year, has caught the attention of a local man who says he shot the photo.
The July 1, 2009, edition of Style published an image of Jackson that former Virginia Museum of Fine Arts librarian Betty Stacy said she'd purchased at a flea market outside the Richmond Coliseum around 1980. At the time of publication, the date of the photograph and the name of the photographer were unknown.
Richmonder Hugh Jones, executive director of the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, says he shot the photograph the day after the Jacksons performed at the Richmond Coliseum in 1979.
Jones, 49, and his brother, Jerome W. Jones Jr., 50, a local artist, say they'd tried unsuccessfully to attend the concert at the Coliseum. But the next day they were driving down West Franklin Street with their mother, Wilnette Jones, when they saw Joe Jackson standing on the sidewalk in front of what was then a Holiday Inn at 301 W. Franklin Street, now a Doubletree Hotel.
The Jones brothers say their mother parked the car and introduced herself to Joe Jackson, saying she'd like him to meet her sons. Then the Jackson brothers joined the Jones family on the sidewalk before boarding a waiting tour bus.
Joe Jackson subsequently invited the Jones brothers aboard the tour bus, where they mingled and took more pictures. One shows Michael Jackson holding up a portfolio of Jerome Jones' artwork. Michael Jackson &#8220;took the time and looked through all of it,&#8221; Jerome says.
The Jones brothers have other photographs of stars posing with their portraits that Jerome had painted, including Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Smokey Robinson, B.B. King, Jayne Kennedy and Steve Harvey.
The kicker of the visit, as the Jones brothers recall it: After looking through the portfolio, Michael Jackson said, &#8220;People need to see this.&#8221;

Caring Michael ~ Michael visits Jacaia Raenell Pope in Washington after she received 100 wounds after being mauled by 4 dogs in District Heights. Washington. The attack left Jacaia with more than 100 wounds and paralysis on one side of her face. When Michael heard of her plight last March, he promised to go and visit her.

May 1992 ~ Michael Jackson, king of pop, rock and soul who is known for his affection for children, presented the thrill of a lifetime to a seven-year-old Maryland girl who was mauled by four dogs earlier this year: himself.

While in the nation's capital to be named by President George Bush as one of "the points of light" ambassadors, Jackson kept a promise to visit Raenal Pope, whom he befriended after her ordeal last March.

Raynal, her younger sister Myja, and two cousins played hide-and-seek, wrestled and danced with Jackson during his recent 45-minute visit to her D.C. suburban home. [the article states at a Children's hospital]

The multi-Grammy Award-winning singer also posed for photographs and autographed a red leather "Beat It" jacket that Raenal's father, Michael, purchased 10 years ago during the frenzy over Jackson's Thriller album.

And before leaving, Jackson kissed Raynal on the cheek. And Raynal gave him one back. "his face was soooooooft," she said afterward&#8216;

BAD short film ~ new pic added Michael with Nelson Vasquez ~
After a few years of break dancing, he decided to invest the little bit of money he had on professional dance classes. He studied with well known jazz teachers through out the city and after strengthening his dance skills he auditioned for the Michael Jackson, BAD music video directed by the masterful Martin Scorcese. He landed one of the principal dancer roles, dancing right next to the great Michael, which truly became one of his stand-out accomplishments as a young man. One day, he seized the moment and showed an appreciative Michael, a few breakdance moves in the Hoyt Schermerhorn Subway Station in Brooklyn, NY. He also remembered how Michael loved his music loud during filming.

Story from the archives ~ Meeting Michael ~ Kenny Quiller who found the song Heaven Can Wait for Michael. The children had TV time and listened to Classical Music.

How many people can say they actually spent quality time with Michael Jackson?
Charlotte native Kenny Quiller can. In fact, he got a song-writing credit on Jackson's &#8220;Invincible&#8221; album for the song "Heaven Can wait."

The onetime personal assistant to then-super producer Teddy Riley of Guy and Blackstreet fame, had the fortune of having a song fall in his lap. According to Quiller, a friend left a CD at his house with the song "Heaven Can Wait" on it. When he heard the song, he knew it would be perfect for Jackson, so he shared it with Riley, who agreed. When Riley presented the song to Jackson, the King of Pop loved it and wanted to include it on his album. Although Quiller didn't write the song, he said Jackson gave him a songwriting credit for the role he played. "Out of all respect for me, and because I found the song, Michael and Ted Riley and the other writers allotted me writers credit," he said.

So what was it like meeting and spending time Michael Jackson? Quiller, along with Riley, met with Jackson several times in 2000-2001 in New York, Virginia Beach and Miami during the production of the song. He said Jackson was nice and didn't roll with a large entourage. He said he got to talk with Jackson's children, Paris and Prince. And yes, nanny Grace Rwaramba was there.

"One time we were in Virginia watching television and his children asked to turn the television off,&#8221; he recalled. &#8220;They said their father only allowed them to watch T.V. once a week and they had already had their T.V. time."

Quiller said the children also listened to classical music while Jackson was working.

Quiller said he and Jackson bonded quickly because they shared a religious background. Both were raised as Jehovah Witnesses. Once he shared that information with Jackson, Quiller said, the singer opened up and they talked often. Quiller said he wants people to know that Jackson was grounded and knew who he was. He said he believes the singer&#8217;s childhood, stardom and religious background caused him a lot of mental anguish that the average person couldn't understand. "Growing up as a Witness, I have insight on why he did what he did and why people thought he was weird and strange,&#8221; Quiller said. &#8220;He was just human."

Quiller said he also believes that because Jackson was such a major icon, people expected the pop star to be perfect, and he was not. "He wanted to relate to children because they were innocent and didn't have a motive,&#8221; Quiller said. &#8220;The singer was a little naïve and the court case brought him back to reality."

Quiller says meeting Jackson was a surreal experience. "For me, it's a sense of completion,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Knowing that I met him, took a picture with him and got my name on his album, its completion. It's something that most people would only dream about."

Michael is given a tour of the Rock-afire Explosion factory and meets the band! Rock-afire was the "house band" at Showbiz Pizza Place, a popular chain restaurant during the 80's. An animatronic band it consisted of life-size robot animals programmed to perform current pop songs that performed popular tunes and original compositions.
Michael's songs were featured on a released Rock-afire vinyl recording. Click pic for full collage.

The band perform Michael's songs ~ May 1988 show from Showbiz Pizza Place.

Michael was very spiritual, and always led his band in prayer before each show. I was late arriving from make-up one show, and the prayer was just ending. Seeing my disappointment, Michael pulled me aside, and prayed just him and me. He was just that caring and attentive. He was a beautiful soul. ~ Seidah Garrett
