Happened to stumble across this news footage of this sad event. [[The clip alternates back and forth with news of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial accident.)

Thank you to MusicandDancing4Ever for this YouTube posting.

Great video Marv. Thanks for posting on both boards. Covers so much ground, and so much in Jackie's own words. Fascinating stuff but also extremely painful for what happened to Jackie--to his health and early death and how he was treated by those pulling the strings. Eye-opening.

You are welcome. It was all so very sad as I recall now.
