"According to Andrae, who was relaying to Verdine (Crouch's personal assistant)
to tell me over the phone just now, Andrae and Sandra did in fact visit with MJ
2 times, once ar (sic) the recording studio, and once at his home in the last 2
months, as recently as 3 weeks ago, asking for prayer concerning the anointing
of the Holy Spirit, and how he could make his music more `spiritual,'" reported
Nassaney in Crouch's fan page.
"He wanted to know what makes your hands go up, and makes you `come out of
yourself,' and what gives a `spirituality' to the music," Nassaney continued.
"So Andrae and Sandra explained to him about the `anointing' and about Jesus."
Afterward, Jackson reportedly asked the Crouches to sing to him his favorite
song.
"[S]o they sang that song to him, and joined hands and sang together, and he
(Jackson) said, `it was beautiful,'" Nassaney reported, according to Crouch's
account of the events.
Nassaney particularly emphasized the joining of hands something untypical of
the "King of Pop," who was as well known for his eccentric behavior as he was
for his musical accolades.
