Não teve infância... Massacrado pelo pai... Mas seus dons sobressaíram para o bem da música!

The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

We only see a boy like that once every 3000 years, and like with Jesus... we completely messed up when all he wanted was to give us love. I can't take this human race anymore.

He once said he didn't want to be known as the kid who sang ABC, but I'm sorry, I love you for the kid you were and the adult you were, I love you and respect for the person you were. You are being missed every single day, rest in peace.

If you are a kid, struggling like this, no that are you are loved too.♥️ There is someone for everyone, find your person, your friend.

This is a classic example of ‘where there’s food for one, there’s food for five.
The entire beauty of the song on Michael shoulders. Not even sure if the 2 brothers with bass and guitar are really playing.

As a kid, we remember that performance like folks remember them walking on the moon. We couldn't stop talking about that at school the next day.

How many people either bought a glove or the penny loafers after this performance???

So many of us were trying to do the moonwalk in the hallways between classes or at lunch, LOL.

Rest in peace, Michael. I truly believe Christ knows your heart and all the pain you went through. You were just a child, a little angel 😥, who only wanted to have a childhood. May you have found mercy, peace, and eternal rest with Jesus and Mary. 🙏
