"I'll Be There", one of my very favorite songs. The closest I came to the Jacksons:
A) His band showed up at an album session I was on in the mid '80s as they were doing some recording at that studio the next day.
B) A drummer who I was doing some gigs with was from Gary, IN. I figured he might have known some of the Jacksons as he was in the ballpark age wise. When I asked him, he replied, "Well, my mother was Mr. Jackson's first wife. He used to bring the boys over to our house and made them perform their routines for us". Needless to say, my jaw dropped when he told me this.
