The man was everywhere in the Eighties and made his fortune from what he was good at doing....singing and dancing. Remember, those were the days before the Internet tied the world together so closely. Seems like these days that there's a new Superstar every 6 months and then he's gone and replaced. Now, I'm not defending the man and we all know the allegations against him, but my opinion of him was always just kinda on the fence. I didn't know the whole story and neither did the rest of the world. We only know what the media told us and it can be very "selective reporting". We can only imagine when you have that kind of money, how everybody comes out of the woodwork for their share. Long-lost relatives appear, strangers file lawsuits against you. I don't know...........but I've always been very careful not to judge people without knowing both sides of a story.
