The Story behind Mike's unique hat :) Motown's Promotion Man, Weldon Arthur McDougal III on this photo... (Taken from Andy Worthy's Interview (Posted at J5 Collector's blog) with Ex Motown employee who worked with the Jackson Five) Andy Worthy: Weldon, there is a photo of Michael wearing a very unique hat in your book The Michael Jackson Scrapbook, what’s the story behind that odd looking hat? Weldon: I was in Brazil and there was a guy that was the number 1 entertainer at the time and he dressed like a clown. I went to his show, it was wild and at times there would be watermelons thrown in the audience. So I was introduced to the guy and he said, “I hear you used to work with Michael Jackson”, I said “Yeah”. He took his hat off and said "Next time you see Michael Jackson, tell him I said hi and I want him to have this hat." Michael came to my house in Philly since he was nearby in New York. He looked at my record collection and saw the hat. I told him a guy gave it to me for you, and he tried it on and I took photos of him in the hat. When Michael left my house, he left the hat. source: http://j5collector.blogspot.com/2010/08/scoop-on-weldon-mcdougal-iii.html One of my favorite J5 blog ever: http://j5collector.blogspot.com
