Unseen Jackson interview aired on the day after his burial
An unseen Michael Jackson interview, in which the King of Pop talks
about his love for James Brown and The Bee Gees, has been aired in
America.
News show Access Hollywood showed the black and white footage of
Jackson being interviewed by moviemaker pal Brett Ratner on September 04
- a day after the late pop star was laid to rest in Glendale,
California. During the 13-minute chat, Jackson revealed Brown and
sibling trio The Bee Gees were great inspirations.
Wearing a trucker hat and plaid shirt, the relaxed superstar told
Ratner, “James Brown (was) the real entertainer. It would give you goose
bumps. We used to have to go onstage after him... I’d be in the wings
just studying every step, every move.”
And he revealed The Bee Gees really moved him: “I cried listening to
their music; I knew every note, every instrument.” The pop superstar and
Ratner also performed an impromptu karaoke session - singing segments of
their favourite Bee Gees songs.
