JJ's Smoking Sessions: Michael Jackson

Terrific way to remember such a unique talent. Mixmaster Morris turned me onto your site via Facebook. I shall be spending quite a bit of time here. Total quality. Thanks very much, Robert.

Listened to this when it was first posted and it blew me away. I was really looking forward to seeing what he'd do in London. Such a terrible shame, that is life I guess but it does seem in so many cases that fame is destructive. This should be his legacy, great, great music.

The story is Ola Ray is making headlines, which is odd and kind of new because no one knows who Ola Ray is. Doesn't it? Well, she was the actress that starred in the music video to the classic Michael Jackson song, Thriller, from the album of the same name. She has filed a lawsuit against Michael Jackson in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that she has not received royalty payments due her for over a decade. We aren't talking about a few payday loans worth here. She isn't alone – the director of the video, comedy film mastermind John Landis is suing for not being paid royalties or licensing rights as well. If it goes her way, it will mean debt relief for Ola Ray.

another fantastic piece of work - well done! For all the trials and tribulations the man is a genius and will always be responsible for 1 of the best Disco records ever - "Don't Stop ('till you get enough)".

Looking forward to Ashford & Simpson and really hope it includes "Flashback" which was cruelly not on the latest otherwise excellent Warners Brothers compilation.

PS I have just played "AAAh Dance" by Fine Quality on a Sugarhill 12" - simply stunning boogie tune. Worth a spin chaps

..... Gotta admit .... i only downloaded this for Karen (my sweetheart) ... of course im duty bound to listen with her!! ...... what happened next reminded of the feeling when i'd pulled a christmas cracker as a boy ..... and the (toy) was the plastic shiny type paper (shaped as a fish) that you put in the palm of your hand .... it then goes on to curl up ... and the result is to tell ya how you feel .... yep a truly AMAZING toy!!!!!!!!!!!! ... and a BIGGER .... TRULY AMAZING 1;17MINS ........ A VERY BIG THANK YOU FROM US BOTH
