Michael Joe Jackson - may he rest in peace. As Al Sharpton said, he's more than an icon, an he will be missed.

When I learned about MJs death, I received a couple of podcast requests. After seeing so many reflections of Michael and his performances through the late 70s through this decade, I felt that some of his early career hadn't been considered. This is when I called on Todd Kelley's knowledge to be able to touch on some of the early work by The Jacksons and Michael, as well as tracks from the 80s which weren't necessarily the most popular, but definitely memorable. This, course, is like grabbing only a few dollars out of a big moneybag. Trying to fit them all on one CD is not easy- there is so much we weren't able to touch on- but I hope you find this sampling of Mike's spirit and talent them all on one CD touches you in some way. Shutouts go to KB and Fave as well or their touches on this 'cast. Got requests? Send an email to ejflavors at gmail dot com.
