‘Dad, I want you to meet my fiancé, Michael Jackson’
Before Lisa Marie Presley, before Debbie Rowe, there was Evin Harrah Cosby. Bill Cosby’s fifth of five children was only 8 years old in 1984, when she decided she was going to marry Michael Jackson. As the daughter of the comedy legend, it only made sense that the young girl would set her sights on the singer whose second solo release, “Thriller,” was fast on its way to becoming the biggest-selling album of all time. There were just a few things that stood between Miss Cosby, Mr. Jackson, and the altar – a best friend who also had romantic designs on the one-time lead singer of The Jackson Five and a father who knew nothing about his daughter’s marriage plans. Indeed, the elder Cosby only found out about his would-have-been son-in-law, who passed away on June 25, last month when he came to town to promote his two shows this Saturday at the South Shore Music Circus.
“I had just completed taping a television interview with Shayna Seymour, a reporter and producer on WCVB-TV’s long-running “Chronicle” and Evin Cosby’s longtime friend, when she asked me what I thought about the passing of Michael Jackson and the memorial service which had taken place a few days earlier. I told her that I thought Motown founder Berry Gordy was splendid from what I saw, and then Shayna told me something I don’t think I had ever known before. ‘You know, Mr. Cosby,’ she said, ‘when Evin and I were girls, maybe 7 or 8 years old, we wanted to marry Michael Jackson.’”
Before the man many call “America’s Dad” could catch his breath, Seymour went on to explain that while the pair never even met Michael Jackson, they took the idea of being his bride very seriously.
“Shayna told me that she and my daughter would get into yelling arguments about who was the most worthy to marry Michael. She said they would hurt each other’s feelings and make each other cry, because they were so competitive about marrying Michael.”
On July 12, while celebrating his birthday with his family in Shelburne, Cosby told his now 33-year-old daughter what he had just learned – 25 years after the fact – from her close friend.
“Evin laughed and laughed. She recalled that she and Shayna would tell each other things like ‘Michael Jackson would never marry anyone who looked like you, with your funny toes and funny fingers.’ Then my wife, Camille, reminded me that back in the early 1980s we were always having to remove Michael Jackson stickers from every part of our house, from the walls and ceilings to the fireplace. It was insane, but Evin wanted Michael’s picture on everything.”
And it didn’t stop with stickers.
“My daughter had Michael Jackson posters everywhere, too, until her mother told her, ‘I paid good money for wallpaper and I want to be able to see it. There will be no more Michael Jackson posters in this house. If you want to, you can buy your own house that looks like Michael Jackson, but you won’t put any more posters in this house.’”
Cosby, who appeared with Jackson on a 1974 episode of “The Tonight Show, Starring Johnny Carson” and a few other times over the years, recalls a time when the King of Pop became fodder for his almost-father-in-law’s act.
“There was a point at which I would say to my audiences, Michael Jackson should thank all the parents of his younger fans. These children are screaming and crying for him, but they’re only 7 and 8 years old. They don’t have jobs. They don’t even know how to clean their rooms,” recalls Cosby, who estimates Evin probably attended about 14 Michael Jackson concerts. “I paid big time for all those tickets. There was a time when I felt like I was working for Michael Jackson.”
....Also, I found this - "Fatherhood is telling your daughter that Michael Jackson loves all his fans, but has special feelings for the ones who eat broccoli."
Hahahahahaha. =D Love it.
