Dexter Wansel’s appearance at the New Morning venue in Paris was the last concert I attended before the Covid crisis. Apart from the stage performance, I enjoyed meeting with the musician and, of course, I hoped to keep in touch with him in order to evoke his collaboration on two albums with the Jacksons in […]
The rehearsals for This Is It will remain the last moments of the King of Pop performing on stage. I have rarely raised the subject, but my conversations with Morris Pleasure, a keyboardist and member of the band on that tour project, gave me the desire to approach it on my website. It was […]
Saturday February 8th 2020 I had never been to the New Morning before. However, it wasn’t for lack of having heard about this mythical Parisian venue.

It is true that I have seen the […]
(Clink Street Publishing – 2016) New books about Michael Jackson have been frequent in recent years, and given the extent of the King of Pop’s world, it is not always easy for fans to find the book that meets their expectations. It is true that elements of his private life can please a large number […]
