"Man In The Mirror" singer-songwriter Siedah Garrett and the Agape International Choir Honor Michael Jackson in LIVE performance of Worldwide Number One Song.
"I have the distinct honor of writing one of Michael Jacksons all-time favorite songs," says Saieda Garrett. "Michael's compassion and generosity taught the world to sing with one voice and his amazing talent lives in the hearts of people everywhere."
"Michael Jackson inspired the world by demonstrating how one person can make a positive impact on the lives of many," says Rickie Byars Beckwith, director of the 200 voice Agape International Choir. "We are honored to sing in joyous celebration with Siedah Garrett, whose socially responsible lyrics helped bring consciousness to the masses."
Rickie, with her husband, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, CA, created the Agape International Choir in 1988 as a vehicle that delivers transformational healing through the power of music.

She said Michael wanted to sing this song exactly the way she sang it back in the day. He admired her so much.

She's one of the few friends of him that never betrayed him,never said one single word against him and always saying to her interviews how blessed and lucky she felt when she had the chance to see the human and sensitive side of him.

Siedah and Michael are the only ones who can perform this song perfectley. Michael even recorded Siedah so that he can sing it the same way like how she has recorded it!

yes, true. the irony is that his version is actually a direct take of her version. Long before Michael's death I heard the sample version Siedah created before the Bad album was produced, and at the time it felt almost disappointing, that here my idol MJ was actually mimicking this unknown songwriter key for key. But it's the truth. So glad Siedah got that important song in front of the world on such a huge platform as Michael Jackson! Amazing

MJ has sparkly socks and dances sings performs like he's made of magic and he's black like me? I can be anything. This song Siedah wrote for him was gift to the world, thank you x. i miss him.

I was in France for a totally unrealted musical festival recently and at every event there was a musical nod, reference, tribute to Michael Jackson. He has been in my life since I can remeber listening to music. I feel very sad. I watched his life all along his trials and I believed that he was a good person. You are missed Michael Jackson. Rest easy.

I woke up in the morning to see if it was all a dream or something but it wasn't. The newspaper said "The King Of Pop Dead At 50" and I broke down again. I don't think I will ever forget that. I miss you Michael so much. Rest in Peace and harmony. God bless your family especially the kids. Not goodbye but see you later.
