END NOTE

As you all know we lost Michael Joe Jackson last Thursday. Mike's "Off the Wall" LP (not CD!!) dropped during our junior year. What was your favorite jam?

1 comment:

  1. That amazing album actually dropped right before we came back senior year. It still reminds me of the joy and anticipation I felt as we began our senior year. It's really hard to say which jam was my favorite because almost every song on that album evokes a cherished memory of that time. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" definitely reminds me of Pam Jones (Johnson), Terry Lawrence, and me getting out of Leah Crocker's car at a stoplight to dance. But then that was not the only song we used as an excuse to dance at stoplights! Y'all stop looking at me in that tone of voice. LOL!
