MICHAEL WAS A THINKER
"He was a different kind of genius. Michael was a thinker. He did more research than any of the artists that I’ve mentioned. He was a researcher. He researched me, he researched all of the great people came before him. So at nine, he was researching and looking and studying, so he was different - a researcher. He wanted to do something, he knew how to talk to me about it in a very shy, nice way, and respectful and everything else, and when he’d get on the stage he’d become this impresario and really, his whole attitude would change." ~ Berry Gordy
