John Lennon with Yoko Ono performed Imagine live at Jerry Lewis on September 4, 1972

"Two of the most unusual people in all the world, and I don’t mean just in the world of entertainment. They fit no patterns, meet no standards except the standard of excellence. Ladies and Gentlemen, John Lennon and Yoko."

Jerry Lewis

Promotional poster for 24 Hour Television Love Saves the Earth, 1978

This 24 hour TV light entertainment / telethon program was first broadcast from 8pm Saturday 26 August to 8pm Sunday 27 August 1978. It was planned as part of Nippon Television Network's 25th anniversary with the concept that it was to expose television viewers to the realities of how the elderly on welfare, people with disabilities, and those in developing countries lived. In part it was an adaptation of the previously televised Labour Day Telethon which began in 1975.

Most of the Japanese industry's top talent turned out to perform on the show and it also included appearances by Tezuka Osamu, C3-P0 and R2-D2, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, Godiego, professional wrestler Dick "The Destroyer" Beyer, and a lookalike President Jimmy Carter. As you can tell from the poster, Pink Lady also performed and was the program's headline stars.

Now in it's 43rd year, the program continues to broadcast at the end of August annually.

MJ'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE PERTH TELETHON

____________________________

It was around October, 1985.

Michael flew to Australia to attend The Perth Telethon, hosted by Molly Meldrum. Perth Telethon is a program that raises funds for hospitals and charities focused on health and protection of children. Two major beneficiaries of the telethon are The Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, and the Telethon Institute for Children. It wasn't only Michael's appearance to skyrocket donations, but he also donated two fedoras and a pair of rhinestone socks to the foundation to be auctioned off and funds donated to the cause. After his appearance on the Telethon, which raided over 2.8 million Australian dollars, Michael visited the "Princess Margaret Children's Hospital" where, once again The king of Pop spent hours meeting terminally ill patients, signing autographs and giving out gifts. Michael also visited "Cohuna Wildlife Sanctuary" in Perth before flying back to the U.S.

Two patients of the Princess Margaret Children's Hospital, Helen Francis and Luke Smith, were lucky enough to meet Michael on the set of the Perth Telethon. There are others background stories around 1985 that involves Michael's humanitarian side, so keep reading if you wanna know more about them.

The first story was around March, 1985, Michael visits a young girl who remains paralysed after a car accident in Miami, Florida. Later he will send her a recording of the Victory Tour concerts and a jacket.

The second story is around March 29, 1985, on the day after he unveiled his max figure at Madame Tussauds in London. Michael privately visited the Royal London Hospital for the second time in two years. Michael spent around three hours giving out gifts, signing autographs and lifting the spirit of terminally ill children. He also made an undisclosed monetary donation. The final story was around July of the same year when Michael was filming his newest 3D film "Captain EO". A part of the stage fell on Michael's already sprained wrist, requiring him to go to the hospital. After being assessed by his doctor, he wandered the wards, meeting & greeting patients, still in his Captain EO costume.

I'd like to see Pastis draw an elongated muskrat, actually. 😀

Again the same song sung by both. There are so many songs that both one and the other sang. Jerry's usual great energy despite chronic back pain and Percodan addiction in 1975 and Dean's total disinterest that is very visible. He didn't take anything seriously anymore. Not even her singing. And that awful hair color that looked awful on him and the fake smile on his lips. The printed smile. As if, without Jerry, she no longer finds interest in anything, including her own physical appearance.
