Australian pop guru Molly Meldrum interviews a 19 year old Micheal Jackson at Studio 54 for Mollys show Countdown.. Meldrum recalled an interview he did with Jackson at Studio 54 in New York when he was about to launch as a solo artist. The record company representative at the time said not to worry too much about it. (He) more or less said to me, well don’t worry about that because we don’t really think it’s going to work. But they did manage to do the interview. We were running late and I said don’t worry, he won’t be there. We pulled up and there huddled in a corner was Michael Jackson waiting for us. No bouncers, no nothing and he actually came into the studio and helped us set up the lighting and he was just so captivated by the camera the cameraman had. And he just giggled his way right through the interview. But Jackson was quite a different person when he was performing, Meldrum said. He was just a craftsman and such an amazing performer on stage, he said. The moonwalk was something else .. the thing is that he’d studied so hard as a dancer and he wanted to be the Fred Astaire of the modern day. Commenting on the successive changes in Jackson’s appearance, he said it had a lot to do with his secluded life as a child. (Jackson’s brother) Jermaine would often tell me that for Michael it was really hard where the rest of the boys … were able to go out and play with their friends, Joe, their father always insisted that Michael would have to keep rehearsing
