Michael Jackson: the Last Dance: How Harlem Remembered Michael Jackson Frederick Monderson

Publisher Marketing: MICHAEL JACKSON: THE LAST DANCE Michael Jackson: The Last Dance uniquely captures the expressive power of people in motion pouring forth warm feelings of joy and condolences in praising the legendary songbird who passed June 25, 2009. While photographs capture the heartfelt sentiments from the "tribute wall," the "altar of remembrance" at the Apollo Theater's marquee entrance, the tribute proper on the Apollo stage and excitement in the street; texts extol Michael in the most glorious manner as the greatest entertainer, an artiste extraordinaire, possessing great magical, mystical, even mythical, grace. Mr. Jackson seemed blessed and endowed with a divinely inspired mission to heal humanity through angelic song, dazzling entertainment and a humanitarian compassion determined to save the children and humanity in general. In appreciation for all that he gave, fans from far and wide came to say farewell and a heart-felt thank you to Michael for his wonderful lyrics, a melodic voice and entertainment wizardry that touched, serenaded and gladdened their lives. The texts extol the positive side of Michael while questioning the role of people who impacted his life in many ways. All in all, the festivities demonstrated no community on earth puts on a show like Harlem in paying tribute to those they love, admire and appreciate! "Truly a great tribute! The photographs are superb. The text is uplifting. A great legacy to a great legend. K. Maloney." New York. "A wonderful preservation of appreciative sentiments praising and extolling the life, work and significance of Michael Jackson." L. Lawrence.
