Michael Jackson – Medley “The Jacksons” – Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever (1983) – HQ
Apr 25, 2011 Record Label
!!!Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever!!! Recorded: “Pasadena Civic Auditorium” Pasadena, California (March 25, 1983) Broadcasted by: “NBC” (May 16, 1983) Produced & Sponsored by: Suzanne de Passe for “Motown Records” Record Label: Motown Records. Niceties by: www.youtube.com Synopsis! “Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever” was a 1983 television special produced by Suzanne de Passe for Motown Records, to commemorate Motown’s twenty-fifth year of existence. (Motown was founded in January 1959, meaning that a twenty-fifth anniversary special should have aired in 1984, not 1983. One could argue that Gordy’s vision of what would become “Hitsville USA” was conceived in 1958, considering the month of Motown’s founding.) The show was also co-written by de Passe along with Ruth Adkins Robinson who would go on to write shows with de Passe for the next 25 years, including the follow up label tributes—through “Motown 40,” Buz Kohan was the head writer of the threesome. The program was taped before a live studio audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on March 25, 1983, and broadcast on NBC on May 16. Among its highlights were Michael Jackson’s iconic performance of “Billie Jean”, a Temptations/Four Tops “battle of the bands”, Marvin Gaye’s inspired speech about black music history and his memorable performance of “What’s Going On”, a Jackson 5 reunion, and an abbreviated reunion of Diana Ross & the Supremes, who performed their final #1 hit, “Someday We’ll …

Michael Buble interview on ROVE (Australia) 2008
Jan 31, 2011 Record Label
Irresponsible Michael Buble on ROVE (live in studio with Rove McManus). Jack Black on the couch. Original upload: 54584+ views. If the name Bublé was in the dictionary, it would read: all-out entertainer, talented, charismatic, sexy, spirited, cheeky, hard working, and hugely popular! Michael Bublé’s origins are humble and his story is one that people never tire to hear. The son of a fisherman, his love of music was keenly developed by his grandfather (a plumber) who bribed club owners in their home town of Vancouver to allow Michael the opportunity to perform. His performance at the Canadian Prime Minister’s daughter’s wedding, and consequent meeting with fellow Canadian high achiever and record producer David Foster, led to Bublé signing with the major record label Warner Bros. Records – and the rest is musical history! He’s sold in excess of 17 million albums around the globe and his album Call Me Irresponsible snagged a Grammy this year. Michael is back in Australia and in the midst of his national tour, and will be joining Rove in the studio for a chat. Bublé’s loves us and we love him here at Rove, and with that amount of love in the room, anything could happen. Who would Michael Buble turn gay for? Hilarious interview as seen on Rove.

Did Michael Jackson ever start his own record company or label?
Apr 6, 2009 Record Label
I am a fan of MJ. Since Michael Jackson is not signed to a record label, has he ever considered of starting his own record label to put out his music? Having his own record label will give him the freedom to record many songs and release new music if he wanted too.
