RIP Walter Yetnikoff, a titan in the music business. MichaelÂ’s friend, confidante and unwavering supporter, Walter used his leverage as head of CBS Records to help Michael smash MTVÂ’s color barrier by forcing the network to play the iconic “Billie Jean” short film. pic.twitter.com/CrMDnKlihb— Michael Jackson (@michaeljackson) August 10, 2021

As Michael put it, “heÂ’s encouraged me to be my own man and to do the things that had to be done the way I had to do them.” Everyone‘s thoughts and prayers go out to WalterÂ’s loved ones.— Michael Jackson (@michaeljackson) August 10, 2021
