MJ meanwhile sits calm in his 70's bellbottoms and silk like dress shirt. With his gator shoes shining, awaiting the perfect moment to dance, his afro so perfectly shaped and sitting position is that of a young genius in a relaxed state as to say, " you know I'm BAD". Undeniable in any argument about the greatest entertainer of all-time.

With its seat cushion royal purple, its base ceremonious gold, and the angels delicately carved and looking over the young Jackson emerging superstar.
