Behind-the-scenes with the Jackson family

Paris Jackson may cut a song in honor of her daddy - Michael Jackson, who died on June 25, 2009. 

Many have paid tribute to Jackson, Brooke Shields was one, all saying he made the world a better place, but now his daughter may honor him as well, in her own special way - to celebrate his life.

In the search of Paris and her singing abilities, footage of Michael Jackson and his family growing up, was accidentally discovered and now shared. 

Following the true Jackson family after the fact...

the fact that Michael Jackson has passed away, June 25, 2009, brings some of us to a point of discovering what he was like between all the show business madness.  In between the stage, film and television phenomenon.

It has been a challenge to find footage of just Michael and his family, footage to show them as they truly were back then. 

Some of this footage is shared now.  Honestly it was found in trying to find footage on only his children, as that was always a private thing to Michael Jackson, keeping his children out of the lime light.

Nine people living in a two bedroom house had to be a challenge.  But eventually, when the family began to perform, all over, they ended up on the road together living here and there, so no worries about the use of their small home at the time, like his first Christmas.

Initially Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, made all their wardrobe for the shows.

Obtaining their education, is guessed, was by homeschooling, or they took most of their out of town tours in the summer months.

No matter what, it is wonderful to have such footage, with more, fans hope, to be discovered.

Anyone can find Michael Jackson footage at youtube and other locations.  But so readers do not have to take the time to find them, here is one such clip. More may follow in order to share Michael's life visually!

    That was great to watch. It was fun to see his sense of humor in the bit about touring and it was interesting in that same bit to hear someone encouraging him not to be completely honest. That is very telling of what most of his life must have been like.

    It was truly a blessing to see MJ as a human and not the freak the media made him out to be.

    He had a wonderful sense of humor and such great love for his family
