Sylvia Chase has a report on that group and its star, Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson is a superstar and the group is sensational.
There are some people who believe
that having always been on stage, you've never had to deal with the real world.
That's true in one way.
That's true in one way, but it's hard to in my position.
I try to sometimes and
but people won't deal with me in that way because they see me differently.
They won't talk to me like they will
the next door neighbor. Michael is quiet now.
When he was younger, he wasn't that quiet. But I don't know.
I think the stage might have done
that to him because wherever he go, everybody's coming out to see
Michael Jackson, you know, want to look at him and see what he looks like.
And he said he feels like an animal in a cage.
Love is my message.
For a world that needs to rock together,
let the Jacksons light the way.

'Lovely One' and 'Heartbreak Hotel' on Epic records and tapes.
