'When you want to be close to me, listen to the music. The love is stored there and will not die' ~~Michael Jackson

By Bonnie Vent

You may have seen this quote floating around Twitter and Facebook as well as assorted web sites and forums dedicated to Michael Jackson.  The quote is attributed to Michael Jackson which I consider to be 100% TRUE, but do you know the source of this quote?   The fact is this quote was channeled by medium Bonnie Vent and published on Youtube on January 07, 2010

If you have not listened to this video before I encourage you to listen to the entire thing.  For the impatient please go to the 2:21 mark and you will hear as well as read those exact words in this channeled content. It is date and time stamped by YouTube; a date that cannot be altered.  

So how did this quote gets votes by many people as their favorite Michael Jackson quote? 

The oldest exact quote I could find was months after the channeled content was posted on YouTube.  So a big thank you goes out to the twitter account holder MJinHisOwnWords.  

I did a little research and here is what I found:

You told us "When you want to be close to me, listen to the music. The love is stored there, and will not die". So I follow your advice. I listen to your music every single day. That way I feel you closer to me. I listen to your sweet soft voice which makes me really happy, makes me laugh or cry AND I GENERALLY HAVE all mixed feelings

Michael said- “When you want to be close to me, listen to the music. The love is stored there and will not die.”   Promotion of his music is integral to his legacy,  as it is the very vehicle in which he uses to share his love with his fans and his message to the world.
