MJAwards 2020 Winner! FINISHED!! {Jackson 5 - The Jackson's Era} "But do you... love me? And not like how you love your fans Michael; I mean... how a boyfriend loves his girl or... a husband loves his wife." ... "I don't exactly know what that type of love is to determine if I do or not." ... ."Well, I think love is when you strive to always see someone happy and be there for them when they are down. Helping them fight each and every battle they have to face. Think about them nonstop, get butterflies when you see them, feel shocks every time they touch you or kiss your lips. They're someone you can't and never want to live without. That's what love is to me anyway." ...after what seemed like an eternity, I feel his soft hands gently grab my face as our lips come together as one. "Then yes." He whispers with his lips brushing against mine. "I love you so much Shanelle."

In 1985, Michael Jackson, renowned songwriter/producer, retreated from bustling Los Angeles to rural seclusion, anticipating a life of solitude. However, a call from a close friend 2 years later draws him back into city life, this time in Chicago. There, he crosses paths with Grace, a widowed mother, setting off a chain of unexpected events that weave their lives together in unforeseen ways.

MICHAEL JACKSON never searched for love; at 24, he found enough intimacy and beauty in his craft. The one thing that satisfied him when nothing else could. But what his craft demanded sated him sometimes, and an outlet became necessary when the fine line between art and work blurred. So his disguised and unauthorized trips to Phonograph, when he found the time, became a much-needed release that he cherished greatly. The woman who stood behind the counter most days of the week had his attention instantly. His eyes lingered prudently from beneath the Ray-Bans with silent admiration. But there was no more room for shy regard when she finally approached him, completely unsuspecting until he said all the wrong things and gave himself away. But not only was she absolutely breathtaking--she was casual about his presence, almost unimpressed by his status. She let him exist in this rare state of peace. And that made her all the more remarkable; he had to take the chance before it passed. And soon, he looked forward to Sundays, from their deep conversations about anything to the way she made his heart beat against his chest with just a look. Romance no longer burdened him; surrendering his heart didn't scare him; he welcomed love and let it coexist with his gift. Because she made him realize it was possible.
