Spike Lee Hosts Birthday Bash for Jacko

Fans danced in the rain at Brooklyn’s Michael Jackson birthday bash Saturday at Prospect Park. The event, hosted by filmmaker Spike Lee, marked what would have been the 51st birthday of the late pop star.

Revelers showed off their Michael Jackson-inspired outfits, while DJs played the king of pop’s greatest hits one after the other. “I was just like everyone else. I loved his talent,” said Lee, who directed Jackson’s performance in 1996 film ‘Get on the Bus.” He also reminisced how Jackson had visited him in his home in Brooklyn to talk about their music video collaboration.

The day was designated Michael “King of Pop” Jackson Memorial Day by Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz.
