As strange as he was, he was very talented. I met him in 1987 when I was working driving a train at a California amusement park. He came in through the exit in a wheelchair covered in a blanket (it was 90 degrees) and wearing a surgical mask. He was very polite and kind for being such a big star at the time. I was hoping this comeback he was planning would have put him on top again.
RIP Micheal.
