Michael Jackson Remembered

I will remember Michael Jackson for his music. As a DJ for over 30 years, his music has been the soundtrack of my life in nightclubs, on radio, at weddings and just about any social event that I've played music.

Before, becoming the King of Pop, with releases like "Thriller", "Bad" and "Dangerous", I had the pleasure of seeing The Jacksons in concert on August 15th, 1981 at The Hartford Civic Center (picture). One of the most memorable concerts that I've ever seen, full of pyrotechnics, great music and Michael's signature dance moves.

The Michael Jackson Memorial today in LA has reminded me of the wealth of his material. As an example, last weeks official UK Pop Chart on BBC Radio One had no less than 13 Michael Jackson songs in the Top 40.

Within the last two weeks many of our clients have been requesting his music. Here are some of the most popular requests played at weddings:

  1. Billie Jean
  2. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
  3. Beat It
  4. ABC
  5. I Want You Back
  6. Remember The Time
  7. The Way You Make Me Feel
  8. Wanna Be Starting Somethin'
  9. You Rock My World
  10. Rock With You
  11. I'll Be There
  12. PYT
Some of my personal favorites are tucked away on albums, collaborations with other artists or just rare gems:
  • Jackson 5 - Mama's Pearl
  • Jackson 5 - Looking Through The Windows
  • Jackson 5 - Skywriter
  • Jackson 5 - Who's Loving You
  • The Jacksons - This Place Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel)
  • The Jacksons - Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)
  • The Jacksons - Blame It On The Boogie
  • The Jacksons - Show You The Way To Go
  • The Jacksons - Walk Right Now
  • The Jacksons - Enjoy Yourself
  • The Jacksons - Can You Feel It
  • The Jacksons -Lovely One
  • The Jacksons - Torture
  • The Jacksons - 2300 Jackson Street
  • Michael Jackson - Off The Wall
  • Michael Jackson - Working Day and Night
  • Michael Jackson - Burn This Disco Out
  • Michael Jackson - Human Nature
  • Michael Jackson - Leave Me Alone
  • Michael Jackson - Another Part Of Me
  • Jermaine Jackson - Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin'
  • Rockwell - Somebody's Watching You
  • Brothers Johnson - This Had To Be
No doubt Michael Jackson's music will live forever.

Nicole & Conor - April 16th

Destination Wedding - Montego Bay, Jamaica After leaving a 38 degree and overcast Connecticut, the 82 degree weather was welcomed for the much anticipated wedding of Nicole & Conor, who had arrived several days earlier at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort. Also arriving earlier was our good friends Brian & Kate from Brian Ambrose Photography who are capturing and documenting pre-bridal and post-bridal events in their unique way.  It's a great pleasure working with a professional like this, so far from home, who's only interest is to make sure that we work as a team in the best interest of the Bride & Groom. After settling in, we met with Nicole & Conor for our pre-bridal consultation and also scheduled an appointment with our Sandals wedding coordinator Jill, plus a full dress rehearsal ceremony before the Rehearsal Dinner.  In the notably laid-back style of the island, I had to coordinate with the house DJ who was providing on-site sound reinforcement, wit...
