    Stephanie is a gifted artist. I had the astounding pleasure to work closely with her in Detroit on an incarnation of Black Nativity. My most enduring memory of her is working with my husband, Alvin Waddles, who was the Musical Director of the play, and she was snapping her fingers to guide him as to the tempo of a song in the play that she wanted. It was an organic artistic MOMENT of artistic creation that I’ll never forget. She IS the REAL DEAL. Will ALWAYS love her having seen that moment…Not that such is uncommon, but the fact that I was able to see it, let me know how much of a true artist she was and is. My moment…

    I think a huge misconception of MJ is that he was ashamed of his blackness. Nothing could be further from the truth and even his music has seen him express his blackness. Remember The Time was a tribute to ancient Egypt and he literally transforms into a panther in Black Or White. Even the meddling in hiphop when he made the Dangerous and History albums. Mike was proud of his blackness. I just think it was in very subtle ways that he would express it. Even that story of MTV shows that he was a trailblazer in what he did. Mike had to cross over and it may have separated him from his people but after that, MTV had no choice but to show our culture and MJ was a huge part of that.

His dermatologist told him to tell the press it was just vitiligo. that skin condition never alters the appearance in the way he had dermatological alterations. Also the way he had his nose knobbed so many times. it hurts his fans to consider this.

Reminds me of the interview VTV did with Chaka Kahn.

    great interview! Good to hear from Stephanie Mills. My Dad took my family to see The Wiz on Broadway around 1978 if I recall. I got the soundtrack on vinyl for Christmas that year and listened on repeat until I could sing along with every song. I was admiring the green jewelry and nails in this interview, finding it pretty, but an odd choice until it dawned she may have chosen that color to represent Emerald City in The Wiz that she is so well known for. Nice touch!

    It's crazy concerning MJ because even though he wanted to be a big star, the elites still worked against him anyway because they simply did not like him. As he got older he started to wake up to that. It sucks because when younger, one does not see it, but as they get older, they start to see it. I believe that if he stayed with Stephanie, they would have had a nice life together, and he would still be alive today.

      Their PR made them hang out.. he wasn’t into her like that.. he was into Diana Ross. Miss Stephanie is not mentioning that their PR put them together.. it wasn’t a real “relationship”. She said it in a previous interview but I guess she likes to exaggerate it for what it’s worth. MJ liked her, he was a fan but he was head over heels in love with Diana. Even Tatum O’Neal said so. He hung out with Brooke but only took a romantic interest in her once Diana got married.

I still love Michael Jackson, but it’s true he wanted to associate himself with the white audience more as his star power continue to grow. Virgos at the end of the day are perfectionist and care about their public image and brand.
