Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard are two men who were entrusted with duty of protecting the privacy and wellbeing of a single father and his three children. That single father just so happened to be the most famous human being on planet Earth and the greatest entertainer to ever live – none other than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
Now, five years after Jackson’s passing Whitfield and Beard, in conjunction with author Tanner Colby, have released a book – Remember the Time – Protecting Michael Jackson in his final days – that delivers a previously-untold behind-the-scenes blow-by-blow of what the final years of Jackson’s life were really like.
Firstly, let me start off by stating the obvious; Michael Jackson would probably have never wanted this book written and released. That fact is acknowledged straight off the bat by Whitfield and Beard themselves in the very first sentence of the Introduction chapter on page one. And while Michael Jackson may not have wanted this book to be written, he would also not have wanted the plethora of malicious lies, sensationalism and propaganda the tabloid media publish about him to be written. But it is written. And it will continue to be written for all of eternity. So this book, which sheds light on the truth behind the puzzle that was the King of Pop’s life, comes as a rare breath of fresh air in the world of unauthorized Jackson literature.
As a fan, the first things I look for when reading about Michael Jackson are fascinating insights and new information. On most occasions I end up feeling like my time has been wasted. Tell me something I didn’t already know! is a comment I commonly utter to myself after reading something Jackson-related. This book, however, delivers incredible insights and new information in abundance from beginning to end.
Remember the Time – Protecting Michael Jackson in his final days is presented as a word-for-word chronological narration by Whitfield and Beard as they recall stories, experiences and noteworthy events that occurred during their time serving as Jackson’s personal security team. These guys were by Jackson’s side around the clock for more than two years, so there were no shortage of tales to be told.
I really liked that sensationalism was seemingly set aside and truth was allowed to shine through. Nothing was sugarcoated; and nothing needed to be. Jackson is presented as a devoted and protective father who loved his children more than anything in the world and did everything in his power to give them all they needed. His children are presented as polite, humble, intelligent kids who dealt with the reality of their extraordinary lives by taking each twist and turn in their stride.
Talking about the children is an extra-sensitive topic for many fans, including myself. Jackson’s main concern regarding security was not his own, but his children’s privacy and safety. Whitfield and Beard spent more than two years protecting those kids at all costs. At one point in the book Whitfield recalls being instructed to chase down a photographer who had snapped a picture of the kids without their disguises. Once he caught the photographer Whitfield wrestled the camera from him and confiscated it before running back to Jackson’s vehicle with it.
Fans have raised questions about whether or not it’s morally okay to discuss private details of the children’s life. These questions are legitimate questions, especially considering how highly Jackson valued their privacy. However, the extent of detail regarding the children is very limited. There are mentions and recollections of moments involving the kids, such as Blanket’s fascination with the hippos are the zoo, Paris bringing Whitfield a cup of hot chocolate or Prince playfully trying to trick the bodyguards into buying him treats from the store.
However, since Jackson’s death the kids have been everywhere, willingly opening their private lives up to the public. They don’t wear disguises anymore, they’ve appeared on national television and have various social media accounts. The mainstream media has no qualms in discussing Paris’ personal issues, speculating about the paternity of the children, and even as recently as yesterday publicising their supposed annual allowance. A few tales about how sweet, funny and generous the kids were may be stepping over the line of what Jackson would have wanted and expected, but is by no means comparable to the bullshit they endure at the hands of a sensationalised tabloid media on a day-to-day basis. The stories about Jackson’s children made me smile, personally, and I’d be interested to hear their thoughts on what’s been written about them and their father.
Another thing I found interesting was who had Jackson’s back and who did not. The relationship, or lack thereof, that Jackson had with his manager, Raymone Bain, was bizarre. Bain was running Jackson’s entire empire from her home office – something Jackson had no idea about for quite some time. (He believed she had an office.) Jackson seemed to want to keep Bain as far out of the loop as possible at times, even restricting the bodyguards from reporting their movements to her. She was in charge of payroll, which was never in order and got worse and worse as time progressed.
The bodyguards would sometimes go months on end without being paid, and not even Jackson himself yelling at Bain over the phone could get her to pay them. She’d tell Jackson she’d do something, then just not do it. It made you wonder why Jackson didn’t sack her earlier than he did. It also made you wonder why Whitfield and Beard did not quit – a question they ask themselves numerous times throughout the book, then go on answer. Their frustrations over lack of payment (and other things) are expressed strongly but sincerely in the book. As you’re reading you can’t help but feel deeply for them. Ultimately their loyalties lied with their boss, Mr. Jackson – something that not many people can say for themselves.
One person whose loyalties seemingly always lied with Michael Jackson was the late-entertainment attorney Peter Lopez, who receives one of the most glowing wraps of all the characters detailed in the book. He was one person in Jackson’s life who always had his best interests at heart. During my time researching Michael Jackson’s career, specifically the years in which Peter Lopez was around quite often, I’ve never heard anyone who knew Jackson intimately utter a bad word about him – only good things. The same goes for those who have not been characterized positively in the book. Whitfield and Beard’s accounts, from what I’ve been told by those who were close to Jackson, ring true.
An interesting series of recollections involve Sony Music and the Thriller 25 project. For those of you who needed more proof than Jackson himself standing atop a double-decker bus in London yelling “Sony sucks” outside Sony HQ to conclude that Jackson indeed had ill feelings towards Sony, you’ll find what you’re looking for in this book. If you had somehow dreamt up the notion that because Thriller 25 was released via Sony Music that meant Jackson had patched things up with the label and was on good terms with them, you are mistaken.
Some of the most heartwarming stories in the book relate to Jackson’s generosity. For me personally, his humanitarian efforts across the globe throughout his life are far more important than his artistry. I often say you could take away his music, his dance and his films, and he’d still be my favourite superhero. Whitfield and Beard recall times when Jackson requested he be driven to the poorest parts of Las Vegas where the homeless community resides. Once there Jackson would crack the window of his vehicle ever so slightly and call the homeless people over. From there Jackson would reach into a bumbag filled with hundred-dollar bills, and pass them to the homeless through the gap in the window. And when he’d run out he’d get upset with himself for not having brought more cash to give away. This was not for show. This was not a stunt. He did not want thanks. He’d do all this without ever revealing even his identity. It came from the pure goodness of his heart.
There are stories in the book about the Jackson family; Michael’s brothers, sisters and parents are all mentioned at times. There are tales of Jackson’s lavish spending at department stores, his midnight recording habits, going to the movies, home-schooling his children, spending time with female companions, his vagabond lifestyle, his personal friendships and bouts of depression and paranoia. Some of the recollections are funny, and some are quite sad. Some will leave you hanging for more and some may be difficult to digest. However in each and every case the stories are told sincerely, and that’s what I value the most. Nothing has been not fabricated out of thin air. There were no crazy embellishments to present things as more exciting than they were. They simply were as they were, and that’s what you’re given. The truth as Whitfield and Beard heard it, saw it, experienced it and recalled it.

Damien, thank you for your opinion of the book, which I have ordered via Amazon and hope to
get next week before if leave for LV to see “The One”. I am glad you are positive about it as I value what you have to say regarding MJ I look forward to reading it. L>O>V>E
p.s. If you do get a reply from the children, please let us know.
I heard they lied in the book and said Michael recorded Cascio songs. If that is true I’m not buying that book.
I have a theory about those cascio tracks…. I think Eddie Cascio and James port probably did whatever they did in order to get writer’s credit. Writer’s credit means they have royalties comming in. Forever. As long as people keep buying the Michael Album they have money in the bank.
“You heard,” Pas?
Seriously. Why don’t you just read the book. It is a terrific read.
Also I will tell you they confirm MJ slept and worked in the basement for hours a day.
Uh oh, that does not jive well for the Cascio conspiracy theory bullshit.
Give me a break all you drama queens
I’m not one to believe “conspiracy theories” usually. It’s just those songs don’t sound like Michael Jackson. There could be many reasons for the way they sound but I really feel like the truth about all of it lies with Eddie Cascio and James Porte. Idk maybe they intended to pull a fast one on the Estate, and maybe the Estate was fooled…. Something isn’t right with those songs is all. Theoretically yeah Michael probably could have sang like that if he chose to… Theoretically it could be something done in production to “clean up” the vocal track. But those things don’t seem to be likely to me. It sounds like someone trying to sound like Michael Jackson. How and why that could happen I don’t know. But that’s just it, I don’t know. You don’t know either, Nobody knows for sure but Cascio and Porte. I wonder if the Estate knew for sure..
i know it sounds like an elaborate theory to some, but hey maybe Michael did record in the Cascio’s basement, But maybe he took his vocal tracks with him like he did when he worked with Will i am. Maybe after Michael died the brothers attempted to recreate those vocals with a sound alike so that they could make a buck off the estate…
You are likely correct, nobody truly knows except Eddie and James. But to me all indications point to a very sincere and credible family, and that the songs were just of average sonic production. They were incomplete in various stages, and hence were pieced sub standard. I have made other more specific audio processing/pronunciation and the like comments that to me are much more plausible rationale then some of the other speculation.
BTW I recently purchased a black cashmere jacket that was often worn by MJ from Frank Cascio via Juliens auctions. Also for sale were various Bush Tompkins apparel.
Although in life Michael had strict rules about his employees doing these sort of thngs, I think now that he’s gone, it is inevitable, and I do think Michael would be okay with it as long as it’s the truth. the rules Michael had were more than likely to protect him from employees lying about him to tabloids or just for gossip’s sake. I really believe that as long as these people are truthfull and honest he wouldn’t have issues.
About Michael’s involvement with Sony and the Estate’s continued involvement… I do believe Sony retains the rights to buy “Michael’s” stake in the Sony/ATV catalog at any time they wish without the consent of the Estate, or back then, Michael’s consent….
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony/ATV_Music_Publishing
This is from Wikipedia-
In 2006, Sony gained operational control of Sony/ATV and obtained an option to buy half of Jackson’s stake in the company at any time for a fixed price of $250 million.[29][30][31][32] Sony has not exercised the option.
which leads me to believe they pretty much had MJ by the balls, and now, The Estate just the same…. Michael didn’t want to lose this catalog. He said reteatedly he would not sell it. He knew this catalog would continue to provide financial security for himself and his children, and especially in Michael’s absence I feel it’s important that Michael’s stake stay with The Estate for that reason. I really think this is the reason for any continued involvement with Sony.
Here’s a possible way of thinking of thngs… to compare the MJ/MJ Estate vs. Sony situation to say a chess game…imagine each half of Sony/ATV acting as the “King” for each player. imagine 2006 as the moment Sony put MJ’s “King” in “Check” . When MJ died, imagine the Estate Executors, probably John Branca mostly, taking his place in a game that was allready in play, where their side was allready at risk of losing at any time. Now imagine the Jackson Family Members, The IRS, Quincy Jones, Wade Robeson, Conrad Murray, AEG, Us Fans, The Press, the Arvizos, alll those lawsuits against MJ, The Prince of Bahrain, heck maybe even way back to the Chandlers, all these elements might have all been knowing or unknowing pawns in this game. Us fans may have issues with who is running the Estate, but if the Executors were pushed out somehow, who would get controll of the Estate? MJ’s Family? Sony? The IRS? I’d be curious to see how this lttle “chess game” would play out in any of those scenarios. I mean yeah if Sony gets it Sony wins. Could MJ’s family keep the game going? If the IRS gets it is that a stalemate?
Also let’s consider the idea of MJ’s Family getting controll of the Estate for a minute…Keep in mind, MJ loved his family, and they are good people generally, but they have their faults. Jermaine spoke out against the “Hologram” at the Billboard awards, but I doubt he’d be complaining if the “hologram” was performing alongside him and the Brothers. I could see them capitalizing on MJ’s image in much stranger ways than the Estate has thus far. Also, the family can never seem to agree on ANYTHING, let alone make good buisness decisions for themselves, let alone the Family. Members of the family constantly say Michael would have never made it without his family, or things of that nature, but HONESTLY…would The Jackson 5 still be a household name to this day if Michael hadn’t been part of it? Not to say the Brothers arent more talented than the average person, BUT…. Iif the other family members are somehow just as talented as Michael why then aren’t they just as famous?
Michael, back when he was with the Jackson 5 and later the Jacksons, PAID ATTENTION to how things were done. he paid attention in the studio, he paid attention to othr performers, he paid attention to how PR matters, He paid attention to the buisness side, He paid attention to the details while the brothers were just doing what they were told and probably busy fighting over petty things like who got to wear the most flamboyant outfit. The only family member I could see having what it takes to run the Estate is Janet, But then she’d be the one having to say no to the family all time every time they want something, and it would cause even more family turmoil…
btw Damien, that pic of MJ and the Security guys is BADDASS!!
hopefully I can get a copy of this book though, it sounds like something that should be a part of my MJ Library definitely. I do find it funny that alot of the reviews are making a big deal over “friend” and “flower”….we’ve known of these code named women for years, and I’m pretty sure the press made a big deal of it last time someone included their names in a book..but hey any headline that reads “Michael Jackson’s Secret Girlfriends” probably does some good in making people rethink their concept of MJ…
also the excerpt I read about the one guard busting in on MJ and kids with gun drawn cause he alarm went off…. man i could just imagine the look on Michael’s face…only tofind out Blanket was messing with the alarm buttton… reading that excerpt put me there. I could see it clear as day in my mind. gotta get this book..
I highly recommending this book. A very interesting read.
One thing that has always fascinated me is some of the less than stellar hotels, even motels, MJ stayed. He meets Friend at the Dulles Hampton Inn. Not that it is shabby, but come on, celebrities don’t go to the Courtyard Marriott or Holuday Inn LOL.
What’s amusing is he met Flower at the Red Fox Inn in Chantilly. I get this one. It’s quaint and historic. Interestedly there is a a Elizabeth Taylor connection: from their website, “Throughout the years, the Inn has been used for numerous notable events and remains a popular destination for anyone seeking a romantic hideaway in the heart of Hunt Country. The J.E.B. Stuart Room once served as the stage for a rare press conference by President Kennedy and as a meeting room for hopeful Democrats hosted by Ambassador Pamela Harriman, a local foxhunting resident. Elizabeth Taylor often graced the Tap Room both during the courtship and after her marriage to a local gentleman, Senator John Warner. The lovely and kind Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis frequently stayed at the Inn during foxhunting holidays each fall.”
On another but similar subject, everyone knows about MJ’s love for Disney. You may have heard about his suite he had on the 16th floor of the Royal Plaza in the 80s which is a building still there in the Downtown Disney (back then the Disney Village) Disneyworld district. In the day the Royal Plaza was one of the best local Disney hotels, and frequented by Disney employees. MJ stayed there because there was no availability where the family wanted to stay, I believe the Contemporary. Anyway the Royal staff was such welcoming hosts they returned, and the hotel manager negotiated a “Michael Jackson Royal Suite” made up of three units into one. This suite even housed his actual Grammys in a lit up trophy case. It was one floor below the “Bob Hope Suite.”
Don’t get me wrong, this place was ok in the day, but for a pop star at his peak this place was hokey. Makes little sense. He even had to use a public hot tub late locked off for him at night.
I have a lot more info I researched about MJ and Orlando stints and recording.
There are a few photos of MJ back in Westlake in LA wearing his Royal Plaza cap. It had that kitsch military “royal” look he would have naturally favored. I believe that photo is in the Vogel book.
Here’s another interesting story.
Later on, I believe the mid 80s, MJ no longer went to the Royal Plaza suite. Interestedly his mom, Katherine, had a tudor style suite, but for what ever reasons that arrangements with the Royal Plaza ended. I would guess because the Jeffersons “were moving on up” if you know what I mean. That place was never on par with MJs stardom. (The Bob Hope and Michael Jackson suites later became the Burt Reynolds, and Barbara Mandrell suites LOL. ) wow. Anyway,Here’s another interesting story.

Anyway, Epcot stopped showing Captain EO shortly after the first accusations of child abuse were made against Jackson in 1993. Disney insiders claim that Jackson, who had made regular trips to Disney World, was only permitted to stay at Disney’s Swan and Dolphin hotels after the allegations of child abuse surfaced. The Swan and Dolphin hotels are located on Disney property but are managed by separate corporations: Westin Hotels managed the Swan and Sheraton Hotels & Resorts manages the Dolphin.after the child molestation case, Disney no longer allowed MJ to stay on Disney hotel properties. However the Swan Dolphin also had some of the biggest suites available. They have a view of the Epcot sphere and the boardwalk lake.
I’m speculating this is where he was staying when MJ collapsed at Disney World.
Michael La Perruque made the revelation when he took the stand during the AEG trial.
La Perruque, who worked for the star between 2001 and 2004, reveals MJ passed out and the Prince and Paris called 911at a place at a Walt Disney World hotel in Orlando, Florida during a Jackson family outing to the resort in the early 2000s.
They never printed which hotel it was when it came out in papers but that’s my educated guess.
Jackson also rented some private homes near Disneyworld. One was in Isleworth.
Better editing on this one , sorry

The media never disclosed which hotel it was when it came out in papers but that’s my educated guess unless Disney quietly changed their policy. If there were a policy change it would have been before the second trial.

I wonder if the Kennedy connection had anything to do with him staying there, I remember reading somewhere that he had some Nude photos of Jacqueline…
From Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Flynt
(Larry) Flynt was approached by a paparazzo who had taken nude pictures of former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis while she was sunbathing on vacation in 1971. He purchased them for $18,000 and published them in the August 1975 issue.[18] That issue attracted widespread attention, and one million copies were sold within a few days.
If Michael owned a photo this would probably be the one. I think it was in La Toya’s first book she mentioned Michael having the nude photo, but I don’t have that book anymore. It went missing years ago.
I was googling Jackie Kennedy and Michael Jackson and I just found a really wierd comment and was wondering if anyone here knows what it’s about
http://abagond.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/1040-fifth-avenue-where-jackie-o-lived/
Here’s part of historyorherstory’s comment on this article-
We know that Jackie paid Michael Jackson a third of a million dollars and that once he got the money he quit taking her calls and refused to fulfill his part of the contract.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this is referring to…
For Diana Rose,
Jackie Onassis was editor at DoubleDay books and secured a coveted book deal with MJ in 1984, when he was still riding high on the success of his “Thriller” album released two years earlier.
“She was only person in America who could get him on the phone,” Stephen Davis, the ghostwriter of “Moon Walk,” said in a recent interview with Reuters.
According to a People magazine article at the time, Onassis paid Jackson a $300,000 advance for the book. Davis received what he termed “a generous flat fee.”
The book came out in 1988, topped the New York Times Best Sellers list, and quickly sold out of its initial print run of almost 500,000 copies, he recalled.
“That was an extremely successful book. They made money on it,” Davis said.
The obvious next step was to print more copies, and then prepare a paperback version. But Jackson, who had total control of the project, vetoed both plans — annoying Onassis.
“There was so much bad feeling when it didn’t go back to press,” Davis said. “It wasn’t a great experience for her.”
Relations between the two cultural icons were already strained, because Jackson had threatened to block the book’s publication unless Onassis wrote a gushing foreword.
Onassis, who fiercely guarded her privacy and did not want her name in any book she edited, reluctantly made an exception and turned in a three-paragraph blurb.
MJ was not shy of playing political players for promotion. He pulled this same kind of stunt with Nancy Reagan for her Drug Free campaign by negotiating to show up if the President would honor him in a ceremony.
thankyou. it seemed that the commentor on that site was trying to imply something else… as all the other comments seemed to… thanks for clearing it up. 🙂

One thing I find deeply disheartening is that there was no-one. Everybody at his memorial… Where were all those people who claimed to be his close friends? Bill makes an ineresting point.
Unfortunately, no one in the world seems to understand MJ. For example, the book mentions that MJ does not know the meaning of an authorized credit card. I remember the first time I got my credit card, I thought I was ready to use it, but it was rejected by the shop attendant. He asked me: Did you authorize the credit card? I said: Authorization? So he taught me how to use a credit card. MJ just did not understand. He became a child boy in his early years. He never did such a thing. People think it is weird that MJ does not know how to use a credit card, or because it is MJ, people like to blame him.Although Bill tried to show his understanding of MJ’s situation in the book, what disappoints me most is that I do not think he fully understands that he still has too much of his own emotions. He thinks MJ should know this.
In MJ’s life, he suffered too much damage, undermining his trust in people, which made me feel sad. Too many people try to control him, using him and oppress him, but no one asked: What is needed for MJ? When MJ is still young, he is passionate, he always concerned about the suffering and needs of others. However, after he had undergone too much betrayal, he never changed his goodness, but no longer trusted with others. His innocence should have been a wonderful gift, but it was a weakness in others’ attacks. It made me feel very sad.
