Michael Jackson, the onetime dean of Los Angeles talk radio whose voice graced Southern California airwaves for more than half a century, died Saturday. He was 87.
Jackson, who had Parkinson’s disease, died peacefully at home surrounded by his three children, a family spokesperson said.
His unmistakable British accent was heard by millions of listeners across several continents, with his lengthy list of accolades including a place in the Radio Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and even an honor from the queen of England.“The world knew and adored our Michael Jackson. But Michael’s home was California, Los Angeles, America. For that we are grateful,” former U.S. Sen.
Following the war, Jackson’s family moved to South Africa, where he began his career at 16 years old as a disc jockey by lying about his age. He had claimed to be 22. “It was a testament to Michael, that so many of the guests and celebrities preferred to actually come in the studio, rather than do phoners,” said Lyle Gregory, who worked as Jackson’s show producer for 30 years and is a close family friend. “With his British accent and boyhood charm, Michael made people comfortable, they opened up. That was his gift. Michael molded an interview into conversation, news and information.
