Scoop brings bad news

R.I.P Weldon Arthur McDougal III

You were a great friend, wise, funny and most of all you were a great mentor. I'll cherish all the conversations we had and the stories you shared with me. Thank you for playing such an important role not only in the career of The Jackson 5, but so many other artists. You truly were a gift!

My prayers go out to the family and friends of Mr. McDougal.

    The value of this book as gone up considerably since Michael's sad passing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who as some spare cash to invest on it.

  5. Thank you for sharing, Chris! I wish I could afford to get it, but over $500 is a bit crazy.

  8. R.I.P Mr. McDougal. I was able to get your book a few months ago for a very reasonable price and I love it. I hope Michael welcomed you to heaven with that beautiful smile and open arms.

  9. I'm very sorry to hear this. Very sad news to return to. We're lucky Scoop was able to get a bit of his story just before he passed about the years he worked with the J5 at Motown.
