I have another version of Gone Too Soon which is Michael singing at the 1992 Clinton Gala. And it is absolutely beautiful. He's in front of a very large appreciative audience. I had never heard the song before. My son Patrick is the one who said that the song was written for Ryan White. Now it has double meaning.

The video then scans headlines in newspapers. The stories are about a teenage boy, who dies of AIDS, The camera than scans across color photographs of a young boy There is an image of the wheels of a bicycle as it roles across the pavement. The rider is not shown. Images of young people dancing More photos of Ryan with people that could be his family. A beach with waves rolling in The camera pans around a boys room as it tracks a ball as it roles down ramps. The video ends with an image of Ryan with Michael Jackson and Michaels voice over. Who would have knew, when Michael wrote this song he would be writing about himself. ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Atkins To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 6:00 PM Subject: [tabi] Gone Too Soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=101iXwPTNE0 Oops!
