I became immensely enamored with Michael in 1987. His voice and way with words were mesmorizing. His love of singing and writing were incredibly inspirational. As soon as I became a fan I knew I wanted to work with the voice and with words. I didn't know exactly how I would go about doing that but I felt Michael was a channel for something in me. Today, I'm speech therapist who treats persons with language disorders including voice, speech and reading disorders. Michael was a truly inspiring person whom I owe my life to. God bless all of his fans.
