Michael Jackson ( Grammy 1988 )

This performance of Michael Jackson at the 1988 Grammys was when he was at the peak of his powers. The world will never again see such a force of nature as this. I can't help but feel the connectedness with all things that he must have felt while performing that evening. He probably felt most alive while doing what he loved. I know that is how I feel about performing. The dilemma is in finding peace between performances. The after performance letdown for Michael must have been very difficult and might explain many of his struggles. I have been saddened by his death for I can relate to many of his struggles with his life. There are lessons to be learned if a person will spend a little time contemplating Michael's life and tragic death. Performance artists especially should pay some attention to those lessons. Be at peace, Michael... RR
