Episode 22: An Interview with Starr Hayes (REVISED)

Episode 22: An Interview with Starr Hayes (REVISED)

Description: This is an interview with a woman name Starr Hayes who was friends with Michael since the late 1960s. She, along with other fans, created one of the first fan clubs of the Jacksons called Jackson Doll Productions. We discussed so many topics such as being his friend, his employees, his family, his women, his fans and the last time she communicated with him. Finally, a possible documentary that I might do on Michael. I hope you all enjoy the interview and learn some things about him.
