Isn't MJ still as popular as he's always been, give or take X amount of fans?
Good point regarding Motown 25 Ran, and your probably right about MJ.
Perhaps it’s partly due to Diana herself that the concert footage remains languishing in the vaults gathering dust. Unlike Motown 25, it’s not as if it contains scenes of her displaying aggressive behaviour towards a fellow artist is it?. Talking of Mary, I would love to see the segment of her singing “Reach Out And Touch” with Diana.
