My inspiration behind this video..
===================
I watched the movie The Jacksons: American Dream and the scene where Michael(played by Jason Weaver) looked at the famous wall at the Apollo theatre, and commented on James Brown's shoes, saying that he was going to get a pair of his own one day, shortly after he opened the doors to the famous stage and that's where I saw the magic for the video begin. It was so unbelievable that a little boy from Gary, Indiana could have such incredible talent and dreams that
were limitless! The video captures all Michael's greatest moments, from the time he was born to his final days at the Staples Centre, where he was rehearsing for what would've been without a doubt an electrifying show! Michael captivated fans of all ages, from all generations, of all races, backgrounds, and nationalities. Michael was gifted with the talent to entertain the world. He
was inspired and influenced greats such as Jackie Wilson, James Brown, Little Richard, Fred Astaire, Diana Ross, Charlie Chaplin, and Sammy Davis Jr to name a few.
===================================
The Song
I was stuck on a song and it just so happened that I was listening to R.Kelly's song "World's Greatest" when I got a flashback to Berry Gordy's speech when he gave Michael the title of
"The Greatest Entertainer That Ever Lived" and I figured this song would be most appropriate. While listening to the lyrics I couldn't help but smile, laugh and cry because the song depicted every part of Michael's life. "I'm that star up in the sky, I'm that mountain peak up high..I made it, I'm the world's greatest." And that was the very goal Michael wanted to accomplish the minute
he stepped foot in Berry Gordy's building of Motown Records. He had a dream, a dream to make the world dance, sing, laugh and inspire!
Michael you did all that and much more! You are trully a legend, a shiny, sparkling star, that's splendedly bright that was here one day, gone one night..Gone Too Soon.
Rest in Peace Michael Jackson I love you More xoxo
