“Michael was a sweetheart of a guy in the studio—just one of the cats, telling jokes, sharing meals. I remember there was a 7-11 down the street, and for fun he would get into disguises and see if he could go in there without being recognized; it was the highlight of his day! He was very gifted and knew just what he was doing on sessions. We never had much bass interaction, but a few times Quincy Jones came out of the control room and sang me the most brilliant little turnaround or transition phrase, that Michael had hummed to him— which I was always grateful for. Just getting the call, you knew you would be seeing the best assembled talent,and you’d have that sense you were making history. I remember thinking while recording “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” how it would be all over the radio, around the world. Michael was one of the all-time great artists; he was an amazing singer, dancer, songwriter, producer—he had the whole package. There’ll never be anyone quite like him again, it’s a huge loss for all of us.”   Nathan East

Chatter, Monday September 03, 1984

As John Travolta and Marilu Henner rode in a limo to the L.A. set of their film Perfect! one 8 a.m., they heard a KIIS-FM deejay pose a trivia question asking listeners to name three TV sitcoms with numbers in the title and offering a pair of tickets to the Jacksons’ concert for the first correct answer. The question came from Rick Dees, who spices up his shows with wacky impersonations—including one of a dumdum sweathog named John Revolting. Travolta might not be expected to be a big Dees fan, but he wanted Jacksons tickets in the worst way. Grabbing the limo’s mobile phone, John dialed and got through to the station. He gave the correct answer (One Day at a Time, 2 On the Town and Three’s Company) and screamed like a Michael maniac when told he had won. There’s nothing quite as exciting as a free ride.
