The organization is proud to present this most special evening. For the first time since the death of megastar Michael Jackson, family members of the King of Pop, led by older sister Rebbie Jackson, will perform a full-fledged concert which will include a very special nod to the late Thriller singer.<\/p>\n<p>The show also will feature Tribute\u2019s Damon Harris Temptations, the historic Motown group that spawned such hits as \u201cPapa Was A Rolling Stone,\u201d \u201cJust My Imagination,\u201d \u201cMy Girl,\u201d and \u201cGet Ready.\u201d As lead singer for the Temptations from 1971 to 1975, Damon Harris sang a special duet with Michael Jackson at Jesse Jackson\u2019s Operation Push benefit in 1972. Michael Jackson and Donny Osmond presented Mr. Harris and The Temptations with a Grammy for \u201cPapa Was A Rolling Stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs everyone knows, my family and I have had a difficult year, but I\u2019m looking forward to getting on stage in Scranton and giving the audience a great show,\u201d said Ms.Jackson. \u201cThere is going to be some surprises, so be there.\u201d Ms. Jackson, who has already donated money for Haiti earthquake relief, said seeing the images from Haiti and knowing the suffering of the people has really had an impact on her. She said she looks forward to doing even more for those who have been less fortunate than she.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Jackson said she and her family choose Scranton for the first Jackson concert since Michael\u2019s passing because \u201cI\u2019m a low key person and when you do something so special, it\u2019s often best not to make too much of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Harris, who has also been at the forefront of raising awareness to prostate cancer, said he too looks forward to performing and plans to sing a special \u201cNever Can Say Goodbye\u201d homage to Michael Jackson. \u201cI\u2019m happy that the Jackson family is coping pretty good,\u201d Mr. Harris said. \u201cI have so many memories of little Michael and how he dubbed me \u2018The Voice\u2019 when we were at Motown. This is going to be pretty moving. Pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the show go on sale Monday, Feb. 15, 2010 and will be available at www.lackawanna.edu; www.etix.com and by calling (570) 955-1455.
