Michael jackson on the dating game show 1972 rare

For this revival's first season, two formats were used.

The basic format for this show, used throughout the first year, was for the bachelor/bachelorette to pick from two facts about the three potential dates.

Source: My Family, The Jacksons – By Katherine Jackson Considering my boys fascination with exotic creatures, I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that one them scored a number-one hit in 1872 with a song about a rat.

The song was “Ben,” from the movie of the same title. “Ben was Michael’s third hit as a solo artist, following on the heels of “Got To Be There” and his cover of the old Bobby Day tune, “Robin’ Robin.” It was Berry Gordy’s idea that he and a couple of the other boys also record on their own.

I recall having dinner with the family in a restaurant one night and watching Michael as he picked up crumbs from his plate and dropped them in his shirt pocket. After a while, I was surprised to see the rats seemingly change color; some were partially white, a few totally white.

Then it dawned on me that Michael was letting his white rats out in the yard and they were mating with the wild rats.

The questions were written in advance by the producers.I never confronted Michael about his breeding project, but when we moved to our Encino house I informed him, “Your rats are not coming to live with you.” In addition to liking rats, Michael loved magic.At the age of twelve he would blow his entire three-dollar weekly allowance on magic tricks.Certain kinds of questions such as name, age, occupation, and income cannot be asked. The bachelorette would make her choice based solely on the answers to her questions.After making her choice, the bachelorette met the two unchosen bachelors before meeting the chosen one.
