i grew up listening to michael jackson
some of my fondest memories are
riding in the passenger’s seat of my uncle tim’s monte carlo
sitting on my knees so i could see out
singing every word to the entire “thriller” album
unlike most pentecostal preacher’s kids
i did not have to listen to that kind of music in secret
my mama was as much of a fan as i was
i continued being a fan through the years
then i met the katinas
and became a rabid fan of theirs as well
they are some of the most talented guys ever
and they are some of the kindest souls i know
when jacob lowery emailed me this youtube link
of the katinas singing the jackson 5 tune “i’ll be there”
i knew i had to feature it on the blog
so here ya go
five of my favorite fellas
singing some of my favorite music…
