I don't mean to come across as arrogant but photographers themselves more than anybody should know when and where they took their photographs. Michael in 1978 still had a huge afro and hadn't broken his nose yet, these gorgeous pictures were taken after the American Music Awards, 1980.
Brad Elterman "Yep, I took these Michael Jackson photos. It was 1978 and I was inside photographing Michael at the post Grammy party at the wonderful old Chasen’s Restaurant. This is the place where Frank Sinatra would pay fifty bucks for a bowl of Chili. The photos inside where boring and a bit too posed, but when I stepped outside with Michael, that is where all of the action happened. Best part is that there was no pain in the ass publicist or bodyguards to get in the way. Michael looked so dam elegant. Not only is he gone, but Chasen’s is now an overpriced supermarket! Go figure."
