“He befriended those he respected and admired in the music industry,and,although a generation apart,Michael felt like he was able to relate to his mentors…greats like Fred Astaire,Gregory Peck and Yul Brenner,who were also among his closest friends.I’ll never forget the embarrassing night I met Yul.It was late.I was actually sleeping when I heard a knock at the door.Michael entered with Yul following behind to find me bed with my sleeping cap on.It wasn’t unusual for Michael to entertain his guests at our place.” Katherine Jackson
