Michael Jackson We Miss You

Michael Jackson: The King Of Pop

These powerful videos about Michael Jackson were made by an amazing, talented fan, emjay2005.

There are no words to describe them….. so you must just watch:

Michael Jackson So Loved The World

It is estimated that Michael Jackson donated over $500 Million to charities during his lifetime.  He was also prone to giving away anonymously and impulsively.

These are just some of the charities that were close to Michael’s heart:

2007

March 14 — Michael gave complimentary tickets to orphans and handicapped and physically-challenged people so that they could attend a ‘Fan Appreciation’ event in Tokyo.  At the event, Michael went onto the balcony to greet them all.

May 29 — Michael persuaded an auction house in Las Vegas to donate a portion of its profits of auctioning off memorabilia of the Jackson family to charity.

2004

April 1 — Michael received the Humanitarian Award from The African Ambassadors’ Spouses Association  for his worldwide humanitarian efforts, particularly in Africa. Michael financially supported programs in Africa to build and equip hospitals, orphanages, homes, and schools and financially supported programs for Child immunization, HIV-AIDS, Education, and Apartheid.

2003

June — A family, who experienced serious damages to their belongings during a flood in Germany, was invited by Michael Jackson to spend three days at Neverland, meeting Michael and his children.

September 13 — Michael hosted a star-studded charity event at Neverland.  Only 400 tickets were available for purchase.  Ticket price at presale was $725, with proceeds going to charity.  Among those in attendance were Aaron and Nick Carter, Mike Tyson, Penny Marshall, Pink, and BoysIIMen.  When the Carter brothers presented Michael with a belated birthday cake.  This led to a massive food fight, of course, Michael started!  Michael addressed those in attendance: “Thank you all for coming tonight. For in my opinion, this is a very special cause and the cause is our future and the future is our children.  I will continue to fight for them for the rest of my life.”

October 27 — Michael premiered the short film for his latest charity single titled “What More Can I Give?” in the conference area of the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The same day, the official “Music for Giving” web site was up and running.  The charity single “What More Can I Give?” became available online for download for a donation.

October 28– Michael  received the Radio Music Awards first Humanitarian Award.

November 9 — Michael Jackson donated painted shoes for charity. A shoe manufacturer named Tatami had the idea to create a charity titled “Shoes For Charity” for children suffering from traumas. Celebrities, including Michael Jackson, gave their donated shoes a special and unique touch by painting them.

Michael’s Talent Beyond His Music

Without a doubt, Michael Jackson was definitely an artistic genius.  But did you know,  he also had a talent for drawing – himself?

Michael’s longtime friend, Steven Hoefflin, has revealed drawings Jackson gave him. “One of the things people don’t know about Michael was that he loved to draw.”

“He drew countless pictures of himself as a young boy, and of the man he hoped he would grow up to be.”

******************

Three of the pencil sketches are signed by Michael Jackson and dated 1985.

I also added one Michael Jackson drew in 1971 when he was thirteen, displaying his feelings about the Vietnam War. The outstretched arms would later become one of his trademark performance poses we love so much.

****************************************************************************************

“I know the creator will go, but his work survives, that is why, to escape death, I attempt to bind my soul to my work.  Dedication, Will, Belief creates all things, Believe. Michael Jackson.”
