[F] _ _ _ _ I know you know that [Cm] Michael and I are like family.
[F] We've shared many magic moments together.
The early days in television specials, recording, and doing the movie The [A#] Wiz.
While you know Michael, he's an exceptional human being, talented beyond his years, a
dream in motion.
I wish Barry Gordy were here tonight to share in this presentation.
I'm sure you remember Michael's Emmy nomination performance on Motown 25, [A#m] dancing and singing
to Billie Jean.
