"Once every several centuries of mankind, God sends somebody special.  A wake-up call.  Somebody to enlighten the people in the way to be.  Somebody to excite the people.  Somebody to bring people together.  And I think Michael was a gift from God that he sent to show people how to be, how to love." 

~ Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett, Michael Jackson's drummer for 30 years  (quote from This Is It "Memories of Michael")

"He was an angel walkin' the planet!"  

~ Kenny Ortega, quote from This Is It "Memories of Michael"
