Thousands of people attended Jackson Birthday Bash in New York

NEW YORK - Thousands of fans of Michael Jackson dancing in the rain in a park in Brooklyn on Saturday during a party organized by the filmmaker Spike Lee, scoring what the 51st Birthday of the late pop star was. Crowds of revelers flocked to Prospect Park on Saturday afternoon, many wear a fedora, white gloves and other equipment presented Jackson-esque. Jackson DJs spun a hit after the other, as people danced and sang in the choir. Dozens of vendors wandered through the crowd with T-shirts, buttons, posters and souvenirs homemade. "I'm like everyone else. I loved his talent," said Lee, who has directed two music videos for Jackson in 1996. He remembered how Jackson had visited him in his apartment in Brooklyn to discuss their cooperation in music video. The day was also appointed Michael "King of Pop" Jackson Memorial Day by the municipality president of Brooklyn Marty Markowitz. "We all know that Michael Jackson fans know all over the world, but we all know that the best fans come from Brooklyn," boasted to Markowitz in front of a roaring crowd as the rain was on the morning rain eased for the afternoon final exam. Edna Robles of Brooklyn, was on his feet after-noon. In a red baseball cap and flip-flops, she closed her eyes and rocked his hips, pivoting on the grass and mud on the rhythms of the success of Jackson "Thriller". "This can romp, I know not worry," she said. "I have over the years, and I think it's the best. I love." The event, which was originally planned as a block party-style collection for the year 2000, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn Park, Prospect Park to accommodate a larger audience. Peter Brodie and his wife, Corrine Rodriguez, brought their daughters, 3-month-old Astrid and 2 1/2-year-old Makeda at the festival. Rodriguez was dancing with Makeda of "Beat It", while Brodie swayed back and forth, in her arms as he held Astrid. "I grew up listening to Michael Jackson. I was 9 years and has a whole new world of music and dance opened with me," says Brodie, who said it was a shame that the celebration of live music, Jackson came to his death.

"I have spread the memory of Michael Jackson," said Harris, the image of Jackson posters and collages cuts 19 decorated with paint and glitter. "I remember the concerns of the people."
