Neverland - Michael Jackson

NEVERLAND

Michael Jackson - What It Was

"You tell Ben Brown to keep his mouth shut. Michael doesn't want him talking to the press or anybody."

This is was what I heard over the phone from a man who had identified himself as the Director of Security for Michael Jackson.

I replied, "Sorry, but I can't do that. He has a right to tell his story and that story includes his part in the success of Michael's music career."

Some months before Ben had called me and asked for a meeting related to the music business of Michael Jackson. I had agreed and at that meeting with Ben and his wife, Joann, I got a 2 hour seminar on how Michael Jackson had really got his start and achieved success in the music business. To my surprise it wasn't as I had thought I knew. Michael had not been discovered by Diana Ross and Motown Records had not been the first record company to produce, and release Michael Jackson records. A small Gary, Indiana based record company, Steeltown Records, was the first record company releasing Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 records. Ben and Joann asked me for help in getting the true story to the public. Part of the deal we made included developing a record release of the early Pre-Motown Michael Jackson music.

I worked with Ben and then later Gordon Keith, who was also one of the early partners of Steeltown, to slowly correct the great misunderstand the public had been brainwashed with.

On the morning of June 25, 2009 I was watching news on TV and heard a report that Michael had been rushed to the hospital due to a cardiac arrest. Shortly the report changed to the simple statement that Michael Jackson was dead.

Now, new calls for me to investigate the death of Michael were coming in. Still the cry for the true life story begs to be achieved and now along with that is the cry for the true story of his possible murder.

I expect to finally bring both together in a movie that will bring the candid facts via an explosive and riveting motion picture about the life and death of Michael Jackson. No corner of deceit or criminal involvement of the real life characters will be left uncovered in this story of Michael's life that millions are anxiously awaiting to see.
