we also want to compliment the los angeles police. chief bratton. 3,000 of them on duty today. what a job. no incidents. incredible day. we've got a lot of people to talk to. one of the most incredible moments that took place in the staples center was taken by our first guest, reverend al sharpton who tore it up. going to show you a brief moment of it and we want to talk to him about it. watch. >> i want his three children to know, wasn't nothing strange about your dady. it was strange what your daddy had to deal with. michael beat it. michael rose to the top! he outsang his cynics. he outdanced his doubters. he outperformed the pessimists. every time he got knocked down, he got back up. every time you counted him out, he came back in. michael never stopped. michael never stopped!

>> larry: in all honesty, al, was that your finest moment? >> i don't know. i hope it was a moment for michael. >> did you feel it? did you feel it? i felt -- >> larry: you were crying. >> i cried because i really loved michael. i love what michael did for the world. i wanted to speak up for him. because he'd been the target of so much controversy. i really wasn't thinking about my moment. i was really thinking that here i have an opportunity to speak for somebody that i felt did a lot more than he was given credit for. >> larry: do you credit him for paving the way in a lot of the civil rights movement? you weren't excluding jackie robinson. or martin luther king. >> oh, no. you're talking different generations. i'm more michael's generation. so in my time, i'm four years older than michael. in my time, michael kind of expanded where king and jackie robinson and overs had done on a cultural level.

dr. king was in civil rights. michael was in culture. by creating that culture -- robinson in sports. by creating that cultural comfort, i was saying that michael made people comfortable with each other. they grew up to be able to be more comfortable making political and other moves that they may not have made without that cultural comfort. >> larry: what's your critique of the event today? >> i thought it was a marvelous event. it was almost flawless. i think that there were no incidents. i thought the class, the level that it was done, the family should be given a lot of credit. ken sunshine should be given a lot of credit. and i think that michael would have been pleased. i don't think people understood that michael was very much a perfectionist. he did not like things done in a way that was not up to par. and i think he would have been very happy with today. >> larry: how did you think -- did you meet with the family after? >> i went by, saw them at the repast. you know, like i said in the speech, people, you know, get all these crazy images.

joe jackson and katherine jackson went against the odds and made a working class family. work. 11 of them in four rooms in gary, indiana. joe jackson working two jobs. the kids having a dream. and the talent that came out of that family. five boys that went to the top. then janet, la toya. probably the most talented family we've seen with those two people sitting there making it work. i give a lot of credit to joe jackson. i give a lot of credit to katherine jackson. >> larry: such a powerful moment. here is michael's daughter paris katherine again talking through her tears about her dad. >> ever since i was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. and i just want to say i love him. so much.

>> larry: what did you think of that? >> that touched everyone. and i think you couldn't script that. she's not reading a prompter. this is a young lady. in fact, if you saw her, they had really said they wanted janet jackson to speak. and janet kind of brought her forward. and she spoke from the heart about her father. i think she made the whole world understand how human michael jackson was. >> larry: there were ups and downs at the end. he hadn't performed in a while. was going to go to london. what's his legacy? what are they going to say about michael? >> i think michael's legacy is he transformed pop culture. i think he brought pop culture to a different level. i think that he brought people together. i don't know any artist before him that had people of every continent imitating him and therefore making people cultural comfortable. i think that michael pioneered mammoth efforts toward world hunger.

"we are the world" was the thing that i think inspired live aid and others, or at least energized them. i think in many areas michael had inspired as well as with his business. what he's done behind the catalog. i think that sometimes people have to go to the next level of existence to get their credit. in my own life, i said that happened to james brown. i think michael will just begin to see how significant michael jackson was. >> larry: sad you have to die to get more credit, right? >> it is sad. i think that the worst, even with your daddy you don't get the credit. that's why a lot of us wanted that today. >> larry: wasn't anyone there today who could not say you were not anything but brilliant. >> thank you very much. thank you, larry. >> larry: michael jackson called two women mom, one was his mother katherine, the other was dionne warwick. she joins us next. ♪

was about? >> i think it was to actually have the service itself. prior to his interment. >> larry: did you know that they would bring the casket out? >> i had no clue. that was really a surprise. >> larry: did you know? >> i knew one of the family members kind of let me know. >> larry: shocked the crowd. >> yeah, it did. still shocked me even though i kind of knew. yeah. >> larry: michael's brother jermaine and marlon also talked at the service. listen. >> i'm lost for words. i was his voice and his backbone, i had his back, so did the family. but we thank you, that's all i can say, we thank you very much. we would never, never understand what he endured. not being able to walk across the street without a crowd gathering around him. being judged, ridiculed, how much pain can one take?

maybe now, michael, they will leave you alone. >> larry: do you think they will, dionne? do you think that will go away? >> the media? today? no. it won't go away. >> larry: they're still going to talk about him? >> of course. what else do they have to do? you know. as far as i'm concerned -- >> larry: how did he handle all of that? >> media? >> larry: yeah. >> well, like every celebrity. i think certain things probably definitely affected him. >> larry: did you talk about it much? >> no, no, we didn't talk about that. >> larry: he would never bring up a tabloid? >> no. >> larry: still to come, by the way, john mayer, patty austin. back with them in 60 seconds.

dionne warwick and her son damon eliot with us. by the way we spoke of michael's childhood, brooke shields was a very close friend. a child star like him. very emotional when she paid tribute. watch. >> we had a bond. and maybe it was because we both understood what it was like being in the spotlight from a very, very young age. yes, it may have seemed very odd to the outside. but we made it fun and we made it real. when he started wearing the glove, i was like, what's up with the glove? both of us needed to be adults very early, but when we were together, we were two little

kids having fun. although our hearts are aching, we need to look up where he is undoubtedly perched in a crescent moon, and we need to smile. >> larry: perched in a crescent moon. never heard it put like that. >> that's from her heart. everything that was done today. >> larry: dionne, everyone knows what a great singer you are. how great a singer was michael jackson? singer, pure singer? >> he could sing. yes. it was more than the magic of everything else that he did. he was a brilliant singer. >> larry: in other words, taken on that alone, because you can be dazzled by dazzle, right? >> exactly, but no -- you have

to listen to the ballads they sang. >> larry: what was he like to work with? working on a song together? what was that experience like? >> well, from a distance i got to work with michael. i mostly worked through jermaine, who was another amazing talent. but all the brothers, you know, they have so much conviction and so much feeling in their delivery. and michael was like the greatest teacher to all of us, producers, dancers, singers, song writers. he had it all. he would come in and beat box a melody and you'd try to emulate it on a drum machine and it was impossible. it's what he did, you know already >> larry: speaking of jermaine. >> yeah. >> larry: he took a charlie chaplain tune that's gone through a rebirth. my wife sings it. everybody sings it now. people record it instrumentally. it was michael's favorite song, charlie chaplain's "smile" sung by jermaine.

>> well, the first thing i said was a question, does this really come from the family? i think that was essential to me sort of processing the honor, you know. and when i found out that, in fact, it had, it took me about 48 hours to sort of strike the balance in how i was going to approach being, you know, being invited to this unbelievable event. without actually having the proximity to michael jackson personally. i'd never met him. >> larry: that's what added to it though, what did he mean to you then, performer to performer? >> wow, you know, i come from a generation that sort of gets told one way or another we're born at the wrong time. people said 20 years ago you could have done this and this and that. and to know that, you know, in my early years and my generation's early years, we were handed sort of down through mtv and the radio. something like "thriller." imagine your first record. you don't pick music the first five years that, you know, you're running around a little

and representing them, was how humanizing it was. you know, michael jackson wasn't superhuman, he was extra-human, but nobody's superhuman. and i think everybody who watched the service, i think by the end of it, the best service of all is the service done to michael jackson to sort of render him finally as being a human being. did you feel that when you were there? >> larry: well said. did you twitter about it yet? >> i didn't. again -- >> larry: john! >> i didn't do any -- just trying to be, again, respecting the proximity or lack thereof to michael jackson, and we are connected through our music. >> larry: sure are. >> when my grandmother died several years ago, she was a nurse in her younger years and she was lucky enough to be the last in her world to go. which means it was a pretty empty funeral. and right in the middle there were two registered nurses, way too young to have ever worked with her. but the hospital had sent two nurses because they were connected as nurses.

and then, we never spoke during all of this. he would kind of look at me from across the studio. if i'd say something funny, he'd write it down, if anybody would say something clever, he'd write it down. we never started to converse until we worked together on "off the wall." and we were at quincy's one day. and we were in the den, and quincy got a phone call and he left the room. and i went into a state of terror because i sat alone in a room with michael. the person who never spoke. and i'm trying to figure out what do i do? >> larry: what happened? >> i picked up a magazine and started reading it. and there was a very pregnant pause. and michael looked at me and said, i heard you like to shop. >> larry: great line. can't top that. gotham, what did you think of today? >> it was actually very elegant and dignified.

and i have to tell you, none of us, i don't think, were sure what to expect. but it was beautiful, and i think it was emotional and it was a nice way to say good-bye, but it was difficult, especially towards the end there. >> larry: were you surprised. miko, today? >> no, i was very happy for the event. i think aeg did a great job. it was nice that it was done at the place where he last performed on stage. i think that's meaningful in a way. i just think that everyone did a great job. they talked about how much love and what kind of person he was and i'm glad now the world knows that we're going to miss a good man. >> larry: difficult for you at times. >> ridiculous. >> larry: motown founder, barry gordy, we sat right behind him, paid this tribute to michael today. watch. >> the more i think and talk about michael jackson, i feel the king of pop is not big

enough for him. i think he is simply -- i think he is simply the greatest entertainer that ever lived. >> larry: what a day. would you agree with that statement, patti? >> yes, but i have to add to that because this is something michael and i talked about all the time. michael was an amalgamation of some really tremendous talent. michael studied the greats that came before him. the thing that i think separated him from those people -- >> larry: talking about sammy davis jr. >> fred astaire, ella fitzgerald. these are people he used to talk about and the things they did that were brilliant. he could take a piece of each of those people and blend it into this magnificent quilt he turned out to be. plus, he was in two tremendously powerful petri dishes of creativity, motown and quincy jones' world.

said a word to each other. so we would never break that silence. there was a nod, a hug, a kiss but no dialogue. it was brilliant. >> larry: thank you all. we will be calling on all of you again. patti austin, brilliant. miko, what can we say? i'll give you the hat back. >> keep it on. >> larry: i will. it's effective. and gotham chopra, thank you. ra we leave you tonight with an incredible moment from a day filled with them. here is jennifer hudson singing "will you be there." ♪ free me ♪ i will be there ♪ whoa

>> in our darkest hour, in my deepest despair, will you still care? will you be there? in my trials and my tribulations through our doubts and frustrations. in my violence, in my turbulence, through my fear and my confessions, in my anguish and my pains. through my joy and my sorrow in the promise of another tomorrow. i'll never let you part for you're always in my heart.
