“I am in mourning for your face/ The one I used to love to see/ Leaping, glowing upon the stage/ The mike eager…/ Thrusting in your fist.
I am in mourning for your face/ the shining eyes/ the happy teeth/ the look that said/ I am the world/ and aren’t you glad/ Not to mention deeply in luck…
Oh, my pretty little brother. Genius. Child. Sing to us. Dance./ Rest in Peace.”
taken from ‘Natural Star‘ by Alice Walker
Questlove – “I think its time we let him rest in peace and learn to separate the ART and the ARTIST. –that is the MJ i will forever remember.”
Quincy Jones: “I’ve lost my little brother today, and my soul has gone with him.”
