42 Years Ago ~ The Jackson 5 Debut on American Bandstand - February 21, 1970 ~ February 24th, 2012

@ MJ Tinkerbell : Wow, many many thanks to you for putting all the things together!
Esp, for younger fans, this is like a history lesson.
Michael Jackson once called Dick Clark his "second dad" the veteran US TV presenter has revealed. Clark, 80, is to be honoured at the 2010 Daytime Emmy Awards in Las Vegas.
Well known in the US for presenting American Bandstand, the TV host met the late pop singer when he was just 11.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Clark says: "Michael [and I] had a 40-year friendship from the time he was just a kid to when he became the biggest star in the world.
"I remember the first time I interviewed an 11-year-old Michael on Bandstand.
"He insisted on taking the microphone from me. When I heard the news of his passing, I thought of the photograph he signed to me as his 'Second Dad'."
"I knew Michael as a child and watched him grow over the years. Of all the thousands of entertainers I have worked with, Michael was THE most outstanding. Many have tried and will try to copy him, but his talent will never be matched. He was truly one-of-a-kind"

Didn't know that Dick Clark was like a father-figure to him.
I knew they go back for sure, but never imagined the depth of their friendship.
I have a feeling that Dick Clark was one of those warm, likable people he met in the business.

Is this rare? Maybe...not?
Anyway, I don't think they performed either of the songs a lot throughout their career.
You just gotta love it! :flowers:
