The King Of Pop, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne died June 25 2009 3 months short of his 51st Birthday. He was 50.
In 1960 the group came to Milwaukee where the King Of Pop met the group "Step By Step", that''s when the King Of Pop found out that the lead singer for Step By Step Johnnie Gee were born 1 year and 1 month apart.
The King Of Pop was born August 29 1958, and Johnnie Gee was born September 29 1959. Just like the King Of Pop Johnnie Gee admired Jackie Wilson and James Brown for their musical moves and skills, the dedication song title is called "Mesmerized". This special dedication comes from the heart and soul of Johnnie Gee, and to symbolize the life long friendship the both of these legends shared through out their careers. Michael Jackson (The King Of Pop), and Johnnie Gee (The King Of Soul) will always have a spiritual connection and something in common in the music world. We will always love Michael, and will miss him dearly.. R.I.P to the King Of Pop!
What a fatal blow the music industry, our legend has passed on...R.I.P to my special brother!
Hello, I hope you are having a beautiful day. I really need your help. I am doing a 90 minute show in Wildwood, NJ on Saturday July 25, 2009. I need two beautiful, talented female singers who can harmonize as well as sing lead. But most of all they must be able to dance and work out choreography for each song and have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE!! I can teach them the music but I can't teach them to be charming and gracious, so they have to bring that! lol The show and rehearsals are PAID and it wiil be a fun, family event . If you know of anyone interested and capable please let me know. Thank you!
