Stevie Wonder Pays Tribute To Michael Jackson


michael jackson’s sudden deaths shook
the world
prompting candlelight vigils and
tributes from family friends and fans hi
I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com legendary singer
songwriter and collaborator with Jackson
Stevie Wonder are just people to
celebrate MJ’s legacy as opposed to
focusing on the issues that plagued the
popstar throughout his life
someone very very special to the world
to his family and to his friends we’ve
lost Michael Jackson as you probably
know I’ve been very quiet about all this
because I’ve been watching television
all over and people saying this and
hearing the various spin-doctors talk
about this and talk about that I just
want to say to the fans in the world
please don’t get confused with what’s
the most important thing the most
important thing is the music don’t get
hung up in the negativity of what is
being said none of those things that
people will say can bring them back
alive but what can keep him alive is us
celebrating his music and his legacy
previously written melody in the arms of
God may become a tribute to a friend the
song’s lyrics were penned while wonder
watched the news reports regarding
Michael Jackson’s death the way the
story was covered made him consider the
role of communicators whoever they may
be
I wrote you know the music and melody a
long time ago but then it was on
the day that I was kind of checking out
the things on television and all the
riffraff confusion make money news
information that I just thought you know
well if he wasn’t at peace he’s at peace
in the arms of God it’s just you know
it’s done I think of all of us here in
the room as communicators and so I’m
very critical of myself and I’m critical
of you all as well because I think that
we have a lot to do with hoppers and
fields in the morning or they have to
live you know clearly understand the
importance of people getting information
we can make a difference in the world
but it doesn’t take just it’s not just a
musician the artist songwriter the rap
of the poet it’s all of us has
communicated as the media the press all
of us and we have to make a difference
if you’ve listened to some of the great
artists through our time John Lennon
Marvin Gaye Marley Jackson all the
various people that we have lost the
reality is as much as we might love life
itself none of us are going to live
forever that’s just what we’re not going
to
and all we can do is do the best that we
can do in life and do the best we can do
for things we enjoy doing appreciate the
people that you know in your life you
love in your life
and let it be that done done about that
we’re all here
we’ll never show
