"Spec" Magazine Interview

Date of publication confirmed in Chris Cadman’s “Michael Jackson the Maestro” (“1972”)

“Spec” magazine (1972), From Chris Cadman’s “Michael Jackson the Maestro” (article summary/quotes)

Each J5 member talks to Spec readers in this two page article from Spec magazine in 1972.

Michael’s says he’s a real jumpin’ Jack and loves to be always on the go. It was disclosed that Michael had been practising the drums, which he considered as his new hobby. When he was not performing or watching TV Michael said he loved to get out his art gear and draw.

Strangely Michael discussed the mix up with his age which has been reported wrong many times. Bizarrely Michael gives the date here as 29th August, 1959. Of course Michael was a year out, 1958 would have been more accurate.
