it's a great pleasure to welcome to "larry king live" one of many visits he's made to this program, jermaine jackson, one of michael jackson's older brothers. former member of "the jackson 5." he sang co-lead with michael for a number of years. by the way, jermaine has contributed a blog about michael's humanitarian work. it's on our website at cnn.com/larryking. at the end of the program tonight in the last segment we're going to have a very special announcement which should be of interest to our viewers around the world. jermaine was last with us when we were on location at neverland. at that time you said you were still in deep shock. has it now all set in? >> pretty much, but it's still a shock. it will always be a shock. >> larry: are there ever moments -- i know how close you were, where you feel his presence? >> i feel his presence all the time because there's a time in

the morning when it's like just about, what, dawn or -- and the lights are still on. the lights in the city and you can see the sun coming up over the mountains. it's a special time for me to go out and i just talk to the sky and i talk to -- >> larry: do you talk to michael? >> i just say things to michael. wherever you are, i'm trying to talk to you. do you hear me? i mean, i miss you and it's such a beautiful time in the morning because it's quiet and very still. >> larry: the best time of day. yeah, it is. >> it goes fast. >> larry: smokey robinson said the seemingly endless media coverage has made the mourning process harder for him. what do you make of the fact that the story never ends? >> well, it's a great loss to the world and especially to me and my family and i guess people realize this is a great person,

a great humanitarian besides the entertainer part. he's just a wonderful person. >> larry: so the fact that it's in the papers every day and on television every night, it becomes -- you're not upset by it? you understand it? >> yeah. well, not that i understand a lot of the things they say because i hate that jacko crap. they need to stop that. it's just getting the facts. they need to know the facts. everybody is saying they are doing business but there are facts. >> larry: we'll get to some tonight. what about the plans -- any plans for laying michael to rest? so many people are interested in that. >> i am also. >> larry: who decides it? >> my mother and i guess i want him at neverland and there's a question -- there's a question. but still -- >> larry: she's your mother. can't you say, hey, mom? >> i'm not the only one, larry. there's, like, so many.

>> larry: what does your mother say? does she give you any hint? >> she's thinking about -- i'm most concerned about security and him being secured in a setting. >> larry: if he had a public place it would be like have having a presley initially. they had to move presley's body to graceland. >> i'm most concerned about that. in the end she'll make the final decision. >> larry: was it true michael was unhappy at the end about neverland? didn't want to go there anymore? >> during the trial what they couldn't do with the trial, he wasn't happy with how they raided his home and this and that plus he had bitter feelings. you were there. you saw how peaceful it was. and how -- >> larry: i cannot imagine someone not wanting to go there. >> yes. it's peaceful. >> larry: once he's -- we have -- this came from an e-mail. once michael is buried, how would you and your family feel about the many admirers visiting the grave to pay respects? how do you draw that balance between making it a little obscene and still a good sense

of mourning? >> well, the fans played a very important part in his life and i feel that they should have a chance to go and pay a visit to him without it being too crazy, but at the same time, they're the reasons why he did what he did. his performance on the level he was because he was giving it all back to the fans. i thought doing it memorially was wonderful but it was so scaled down. i feel that the fans still didn't get anything. >> larry: really? >> no. >> larry: you were disappointed in the memorial? >> no, not disappointed in the memorial. just the fact that the fans weren't able to come. to touch and feel and be a part. >> larry: michael's daughter, paris, scene we'll all remember. touched hearts. she spoke about her dad at the memorial service. let's watch a little and get your thought. >> i just want to say ever since

i was born daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine. and i just want to say i love him so much. >> larry: i was there. you were, of course, standing right there. what did you -- that was not planned, right? >> no. >> larry: how did you feel during that moment? >> well, she said it all. all the names they've called him and all the things they've said about him for so many years. she stepped up and said, daddy. he was a father. he was a wonderful father and he was the great human being. she said it all. it wasn't planned. >> larry: how are they doing? >> they're doing fine. they're slowly but they're playing with my kids and they're coming back strong. they're doing fine. >> larry: not going out yet,

anyway, are they? >> a little bit. they go to the movies to see "ice age." >> larry: oh, they do get that at least? >> yeah. >> larry: that's good. do you -- before the public service there was a private memorial. i know that's private but can you tell us anything about what that was like? >> well, my family felt that us being raised as jehovah's witnesses, it was very important to have something private for the family and my cousin, wendell hawkins, when dell, he spoke. he's an elder. he spoke very nicely so we had just a private moment and it was paris' request to play "gone to soon." we left there and came over to staples. >> larry: were you able to see michael after his death? >> yes, i did. i raced across town. i first got the word from you guys that there was something going on with him being -- going to the hospital.

so i called my mother immediately and then she said, yes, she was on her way. i was in azusa, another side of pasadena. 45 minutes went by. i spoke to my sister, janet, spoke to our attorney. next thing i knew, i called my mother back and i heard this tone in her voice saying he's dead. she was crying. and i just cried and drove across town very quickly -- >> larry: you got to see him? >> yes. i came to ucla before all the helicopters flying in the sky and everything. first when i walked into the hospital, i went straight to my mother, caressed her and then i went to the room and saw him just lifeless and it just tore my heart out. >> larry: jermaine, by the way has something special to show us. it's from the memorial service and a special announcement at the end of the show, too. that's next.

most people try to get rid of algae, and we're trying to grow it. the algae are very beautiful. they come in blue or red, golden, green. algae could be converted into biofuels... that we could someday run our cars on. in using algae to form biofuels, we're not competing with the food supply. and they absorb co2, so they help solve the greenhouse problem, as well. we're making a big commitment to finding out... just how much algae can help to meet... the fuel demands of the world.

♪ with a child's heart nothing can ever get you down ♪ ♪ with a child's heart >> larry: what's it like for you to look at that? >> that's touching, larry, because that song "with a child's heart" says a lot just how innocent children are -- that's what he was about. it's tough. >> larry: the single gloves you and others wore at the memorial,

whose idea was that? we've got one here. >> this was my idea. this was what he was about. this was the glove. when he put this on, he was ready for the stage. he was ready to just kill them. >> larry: how did he get that idea? >> i have no idea, but this is -- it's been him for years. it's the one glove and he was ready for battle, whatever you call it. >> larry: wow. they're beautiful gloves. and it was only one glove, right? he didn't wear two gloves? >> one. one. >> larry: very effective. the last time you said you were on the show, you said his wishes would be carried out exactly. that you wanted your mother to get custody. were you happy with the way all of this apparently has been resolved? >> yes. larry, there -- well, the co-counsel and john mcclain, these are people that we've known for many, many years. they're doing an incredible job. they raised a lot of money,

close to $100 million for the estate. they're following out michael's wishes accordingly. i just said, and i'll say it again, anyone who is trying to contest the will is going against michael's wishes. >> larry: the judge said, though, they will have power for another 60 days. do you think it's all going to get together with your mother and them? >> yes. they're staying in close communication with my mother. again, i feel good because i've known joel cats for 30 years and he's a very standup guy and he's toing a great job. >> larry: banker is well known. >> yes. >> larry: your father, though he has a close relationship, he wants to visit the kids. he's not going to be involved in raising them because of his age. >> he's probably tired because he's raised us and he had a tough job. but, no, he has an aura about him that is really very respectful. >> larry: has he got a bad rap? >> he gets a bad rap. >> larry: why? he brings a little on, himself, right?

he sometimes gets carried away. >> yeah, but that's his way of expressing himself. we owe it all to him because if he wasn't the way he was, larry, we wouldn't be the way we were. >> larry: was he a tough father? >> no, he was just the way fathers were during that time. they were very concerned about their kids growing up to be strong. with so many bad influences during that time. >> larry: wow. >> my father's been great. >> larry: he's spoken of the possibility of michael's kids going into show business. do you think that could happen? do they have any tendencies that way? i mean, who knows better than you? >> they love film. they love film and they love movies and they know a lot about animation. so there's a great possibility. yes. >> larry: there's been a lot of speculation about whether michael's dermatologist, as you know, dr. arnold klein, might be the biological father. i asked him about that when he was a guest. watch this. >> i think to the best of my knowledge i'm not the father. i want to tell you that this discussion, however, is between michael's children and this

person. >> larry: you don't feel you have to take a dna test to prove anything? >> if they want my dna test, they can have my dna. i don't care at this point. >> larry: he asked in court for his lawyer to be involved somehow in all this and the court refused. what do you make of the klein factor? >> well, i really don't know that much about it. you can look at the kids and tell that they're michael's kids and the fact that people come forth and they say things just to get attention, but those are definitely michael's children. >> larry: do you know dr. klein? >> i really don't know him but i've heard so many things and i wouldn't like to say something that i really don't know that much about because there's been so much speculation around this whole thing. i don't want to be one to contribute to that. >> larry: i understand. do you think it's a good idea debbie rowe is going to get some visitation? >> absolutely. she's -- i've spoken to her. we talk about horses because she has a ranch and i had a ranch before. yes, i think it's perfect. it's wonderful.

>> larry: we'll be right back with more of jermaine jackson. don't go away. >> why don't you stand next to paris? >> okay. daddy? i have -- thank you for giving me ice cream. you're the best daddy in the whole world and i love you.

a man with a golden heart, michael jackson. >> thank you very much. this is a special moment for michael, special moment for his legacy. it's a special award. >> larry: if you've been wondering about this gold piece on the set when we flash away, it's obviously rodon's the thinker.

it says "save the world awards." jermaine jackson on behalf of michael jackson. what's the story of this? >> well, this was a special award that was given to michael from vienna, austria, and it was put on by the world awards media. they did an incredible job of just honoring him. everybody -- >> larry: he was going to get it and you went to get it for him? >> yes. they honored you, i think, in 2002. >> larry: they did, yeah. >> then they did michael in 2003. >> larry: more to say about vienna a little later. this is beautiful. where do you keep this? >> this is so heavy, larry. it's very heavy. we put it some place. it has to been a strong foundation. >> larry: an award or hernia? we have special home video from several years ago of prince, paris and their father. watch this. ♪ you're my daddy, my only daddy ♪ ♪ you make me happy when skies are gray ♪ ♪ you never know dear how much i love you ♪ ♪ please don't take my daddy away ♪

>> larry: do they talk about their father a lot? >> yeah. because he was most concerned about them all the time. that's why they traveled with him so much. >> larry: he took them everywhere, didn't he? >> yeah. >> larry: we can't deny age in life. it's going to happen to you, jermaine. happens to all of us. your mother is 79. god forbid something happens, what would happen to the kids do you think? >> the kids would be in good hands because there are so many of us. >> larry: they'll be communeally raised, do you think? >> we're going to surround them with this jackson love. there's so much love and so many children. they're in a wonderful setting now because they're communicating with kids every day which are our kids and tito's got kids and there are so many -- rebbie's got kids. there are just so many. they feel so comfortable now. >> larry: you're saying that would really not be a problem? >> no. >> larry: what about janet? we haven't seen her. what's her involvement with the kids? is she close with them? how's janet doing?

>> janet is doing fine. she's busy doing her work right now. i was going through the market and saw janet wants the kids. i don't think that's the case. that's just sensationalism that's coming out there. >> larry: do you talk to janet? >> yeah. i speak to her. she's busy doing her -- she's doing a film then she's doing her next cd. >> larry: to you think you, the boys and her might get together for something? boy, would that pack them in. >> on the field, the dodgers' field -- no, that could be very exciting. >> larry: dodgers stadium. why not? the ball game around you. hey, we'd book anything. jermaine has written a blog exclusive for us on michael's legacy. go to cnn.com/larryking to read it. more with jermaine after the break.

yes, i did. >> and he looks like a jackson. >> oh, yes. he looks like a jackson. he acts like a jackson. he can dance like a jackson. >> larry: all right. let's hear it from jermaine. what do you make of omer? he reportedly denies he's michael's son. he was seated with the jackson family during the staple center service and there are also photos from this weekend of omer out with prince from this weekend with prince and blanket as well as jermaine's sons. who is he? >> i would say he's probably someone who michael really endeared and who wanted to just be part of his life. i really don't know if he's his son or not. but the fact that he's been around michael so much. i've seen pictures of him dressed just like michael with the hat and red shirt and everything. if he's not his son we're going to continue to give him love. >> larry: you like him?

>> yes. >> larry: are you close to him? >> i've seen him at the house a few times and he's very nice, very respectful and that's all you can ask for really. >> larry: were you surprised your father seemed to think he might be? >> no. because i've been asked this question so much, but i really don't know. still, we're going to just take care of him and give him the love and the support he needs. >> larry: what about -- this is a twitter question. what about grace the nanny? is she going to be involved with is the kids? >> i really don't know because right now my mother is in control of everything and she's just making sure the children are being children and they're just playing and having fun. i think they put all the school programs together for the coming year and stuff. making sure that their studies are right. all that is most important. >> larry: nannies are special people in children's lives. she must have been terrific, right? >> yeah, but she was always there. >> larry: that's what i mean. >> yeah, but like i said, my

mother's in charge. so who knows. >> larry: tell me about your mother. is -- everyone who comes on this program says she's one of the greatest people they've ever known. >> well, my mother's very, very special. i'll say this. i think i'm the closest to her that looks like her and she's probably laughing right now, but, no, she's incredible. she gave us that -- just that loving, endearment, the wanting to understand people and the sharing and the kind that sometimes i say to myself, i wish i wasn't like that because sometimes there's people out in the world and they take advantage of that. we all have it in us and there's nothing we can do about it. >> larry: would she do well on this show or is she shy? >> she would do well because you would probably make her feel very comfortable. >> larry: she is shy, right? >> she's very shy. >> larry: did michael get that from her? >> we all got it from her. yeah.

>> larry: you're saying all the jacksons are shy? >> they are shy until they hit the stage. >> larry: explain that. i have been told michael would be sitting shy, not wanting to go on stage. somebody calls him up, sheepishly gets up, whack. >> well, starts with my father saying, all right, get up. this is the stage. moving very little. so it's like rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. we felt more comfortable on stage. in a small setting -- if i was to come to your house and you had some guests and you asked me, jermaine, come in and meet someone. i'm very nervous. very shy. >> larry: really? >> yes. >> larry: another twitter question. are the children being raised as jehovah's witnesses? >> they've been to the hall before. i don't know if they're going to be raised as jehovah's witnesses because they've had christmases and enjoyed birthdays and stuff. >> larry: not decided yet? >> i don't think so. >> larry: you don't think so? >> i don't think so.

>> larry: no? you haven't seen an autopsy? >> no, i have not seen one. >> larry: do you fear -- what about the foul play that your sister, la toya, said? your father hinted at? do you think there's foul play defined by doctors doing wrong? >> larry, it's hard to say because there's so much being said and i think to rush to judgment would be the wrong thing to do or say. i think there's an ongoing investigation and to say these things is not -- without knowing the facts. if it ends up to foul play, then that will be dealt with accordingly. at the same time we really don't know. we will know and we will find out. >> larry: did you know or have knowledge of michael being addicted to anything? >> no. >> larry: never discussed it? >> never. i've never seen him act abnormal around me or never known anything like that. >> larry: did you ever ask him about it? >> no. >> larry: why not? >> that never came to my mind.

>> larry: all of this is a shock to you? >> yeah. i heard during the pepsi commercial there was some things that he was taking during that time because the -- >> larry: hair. >> the hair thing. no, i never had any reason to ask him that. >> larry: now when you learn all this and people report about medication found in the house, are you surprised? >> i'm very surprised and very uneducated about all these pills and all these things, like i told you before. i like it that way. meaning not to have much knowledge about these type of things. at the same time, i'm hearing all this stuff and saying, where is it going? i tell you, if there was anything administered in my brother's body that was not in the proper setting, meaning a hospital, then that would be dealt with. >> larry: but you never thought of -- i mean, aren't you curious about it, as a brother? would it bug you if a doctor were giving him drugs indiscriminately? >> yes, absolutely. absolutely.

because i'm one that won't even take an aspirin. and to hear these things, it's just shocking to me at his death. >> larry: do you know his doctor? >> no. >> larry: never met the doctor? >> never met him until he was in the hospital. >> larry: in the past there's been a lot said about dr. murray. you don't draw any conclusions, right? >> i don't like to draw conclusions until you get the facts. >> larry: all right. by the way, we received a statement from dr. murray concerning the mentions of him, not by jermaine. he says we're not going to respond to any statements made by any family member or anyone else at this time. dr. murray continues to cooperate with los angeles investigators in their efforts to determine the cause of michael jackson's death. i guess you support them, too? i mean, the investigators. >> yeah. >> larry: you want to know. you don't want to go without answers? >> right. let them do their job. >> larry: at this point you don't blame anybody? >> i'm not blaming anybody until the facts are there and how can i blame them? once the facts are there, then

probably i guess we'll go into what they call a trial or whatever and it would be what it is. >> larry: do you think knowing michael as you do that he would want someone punished if that came out? >> listen, if this came out, it would be tough for anybody who had anything to do with michael's passing to walk this earth. really. >> larry: so you couldn't know if the family was planning anything because they didn't know if he had a problem, right? you didn't know if he had a problem? >> no. no. >> larry: what has surprised jermaine most about all of this since the death? we'll ask that next.
