Michael & Lisa Marie Presley at one point had a very loving, authentic relationship. After Michael expressed his interest in her, I connected the two, and the rest is history. I am beyond proud to have known & worked with both of them. #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedits #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonlover #thriller40 #thriller #mtv #music #musichistory created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's You Are Not Alone (Radio Edit)

Michael loved to play games, and he believed that playing pinball helped him to clear his mind and focus on his creative energy. Michael was always looking for new and unconventional ways to channel his creativity, and this was just one example of his unique process. His dedication to his craft and his love for music was truly inspiring, and I feel fortunate to have known him as a person and as an artist. #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedits #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonlover #thriller40 #thriller #mtv #music #musichistory created by John Branca with John Branca's original sound

I have so many memories that I cherish. But two stories I will never forget are Michael bringing his chimpanzee Bubbles as his date to my first wedding, and Michael singing the songs from the Sound of Music to my daughter when she was a little kid. I don’t think she will ever forget that either! #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedits #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonlover #thriller40 #thriller #mtv #music #musichistory created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's Just Good Friends (2012 Remaster)

I was fortunate enough to buy this special military jacket worn by Michael at auction. It’s an early version of the iconic military aesthetic that he became known for. The sewn-in Luther Vandross backstage pass makes it all the more special, and something I will cherish forever. #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedits #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonlover #thriller40 #thriller #mtv #music #musichistory created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's Unbreakable

The negotiation for the acquisition of the Beatles catalog is an example of Michael and I sharing and executing the same vision. He wanted ATV badly, and I did everything in my power to secure it for him. It is fitting that nearly 40 years later I still serve as the business architect and protector of Michael’s legacy, along with my co-executor John McClain and in consultation with his beneficiaries. #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedits #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonlover #thriller40 #thriller #mtv #music #musichistory created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal (2012 Remaster)

After the release of Thriller, Michael fired his entire team: no press agent, no agent, no manager. He gave me business directives, and the label promotion directives, and through his stewardship he ended up with the biggest selling album of all time. His marketing genius was just as remarkable as his artistic genius. #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedits #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonlover #thriller40 #thriller #mtv #music #musichistory created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's This Time Around

Before Michael went on to revolutionize music videos, MTV refused to play any Michael Jackson videos. Walter Yetnikoff forced MTV’s hand by threatening to pull all of CBS Records’ artists, and the rest is history. #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedits #michaeljackson #michaeljacksonlover #thriller40 #thriller #mtv #music #musichistory created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's Billie Jean

The challenge of casting someone to play Michael was enormous, and critical to the success of the biopic. It turns out the perfect candidate was none other than Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s own nephew. Jaafar has demonstrated that he has the talent & work ethic to succeed, and we are so excited to see him portray Michael on the big screen. #michaeljackson #thriller #thriller40 #michaeljacksonfans #mjmovie #michaeljacksonforever #reels #music #moonwalk created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's For All Time

Being a former musician, I’ve always advocated for fairness on the artists’ behalf, and understand that a lot of early contracts signed by artists don’t always work out in their favor. Renegotiation is the only answer here. Early in my career I helped Don Henley reclaim the rights to the songs he wrote for the Eagles, and am proud to see some of the best songs ever written back in the right hands. #eagles #theeagles #donhenley #hotelcalifornia #rocknroll #irvingazoff #recordlabels #music #musicindustry #classicrock #takeiteasy created by John Branca with Ludovick Bourgeois & Patrick Bourgeois's Take It Easy - Eagles

It’s hard to choose just a few songs from Michael’s unparalleled catalog, but my current three favorite songs are quite the eclectic mix: Black or White, Stranger in Moscow, and Blood on the Dance Floor. #michaeljackson #thriller40 #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedit #thriller #jackson5 #moonwalk #quincyjones #offthewall #michaeljacksonbad #mjmovie #michaeljacksonmovie #michaeljacksonbiopic created by John Branca with John Branca's original sound

We are very fortunate to assemble the perfect team of visionary filmmakers in Graham King, Antoine Fuqua, and John Logan. I have no doubt that together they will bring the incredible story of Michael Jackson to the big screen like no one else could. #michaeljackson #thriller40 #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedit #thriller #jackson5 #moonwalk #offthewall #michaeljacksonbad #mjmovie #michaeljacksonmovie #michaeljacksonbiopic #biopic #trending created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' (Single Version)

We are thrilled to announce Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson in the upcoming biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua. It is especially significant that one of the most iconic figures in history will be brought to life by his own nephew, and Jaafar has been working extremely hard to get ready for his role. #michaeljackson #thriller40 #michaeljacksonfan #michaeljacksonedit #thriller #jackson5 #moonwalk #offthewall #michaeljacksonbad #mjmovie #michaeljacksonmovie #michaeljacksonbiopic #biopic #trending created by John Branca with Michael Jackson's Get on the Floor
