Michael Jackson, “Valentine” magazine (October 6, 1973) [Chris Cadman’s “Michael Jackson the Maestro” (article summary/quotes)]

One fan said Michael looked tired on Top Of The Pops when performing Rockin’ Robin:

“The reason I looked fatigued on that programme was because we had to do the song three times for the cameras. The first two times I was pulled off the stage by fans. By the third time I was more scared than out of breath.”
