Eric Clapton's multi-Grammy winning Song, "Tears in Heaven" was played at the funeral service of a two year old boy who was kidnapped and murdered in Liverpool, England, by two ten-year olds. Also played at the service was a song the boy reportedly loved to dance to, Michale Jackson's "Heal the World".
Eric Clapton的多個格萊美獲獎歌曲，“Tears in Heaven”在一個兩歲年男孩的葬禮上演奏，他在英國的利物浦被兩個10歲的男孩綁架後殺害，另外演奏的一首歌曲是Michael Jackson的“Heal the World”，據報導這名男孩很熱愛舞蹈。
In the spring of 1993, it was announced that Michael Jackson had formed an independent film company dedicated to producing uplifting movies. Michael Jackson Productions, Inc., will donate a share of its profits to Michael's Heal the World Foundation. In a statement Michale sail, "I believe passionately in the power of mass entertainment and have seen how, with positive messages, it can help alleviate the problems we face, including the suffering of the world's children."
在1993年春天，Michael Jackson宣佈成立一個獨立的電影製作公司，致力於電影的發展。Michael Jackson製作公司，並其所得利潤的部分捐獻給Michael的“Heal the World”基金會。Michael在一份聲明中說：“我相信如今所看到我在大眾娛樂業所有的激情能量是在傳遞積極的資訊，它可以説明減輕我們所面臨的問題，包括世界兒童的苦難。”
Another project Michael was reported to be involved with, that is also dedicated to children is a plan to form an entertainment and educational cable television network. Michael is partners in the venture with former junk bond king, Michael Milken.
據報導另一個專案Michael要參與的，也是專門針對兒童的計畫，組建一個娛樂和教育的有線電視網路。Michael在與前垃圾債券大王Michael Milken合資合作。
Michael was also sadi to be involved in another video game for Sega/Genesis. Sega built its first VirtuaLand arcade in Las Vegas that includes large screen TV's, moving platforms, monitors, and 3-D videographics, with Michael Jackson's likeness used as the commander in an eight-player attack squad game.
Michael還將參與一個視頻遊戲Sega/Genesis的製作。Sega在拉斯維加斯建立了自己的第一個真正的經營場所，包括大螢幕電視、移動平臺、顯示器和3D錄影圖像。Michael Jackson的肖像將作為一個八人進攻小隊遊戲的指揮官形象出現。
The Rock & Roll Cookbook, by Dick and Sandy St John, was published that includes recipes from various rock stars. Included in the book is recipe for Maple Pecan Butter Cookies from Michael Jackson. It does not reveal however how often he makes these cookies, or if he wears just one oven mitt.
，由Dick和 Sandy St John所著，其內容包括多位元搖滾明星的食譜。書中包括來自Michael Jackson的“楓樹核桃黃油餅乾”食譜。但它沒有透露他是否經常做這些餅乾，或者如果他只戴一個烤箱手套。（不太明白是什麼意思？MJ會做餅乾？一個烤箱手套暗指Billie Jean的表演時的一隻水晶手套吧。）
Within just a few years of being marketed, figurines of Michael Raisin had dramatically increased in value. The figurines were taken from California Raisin commercials Michael contributed to in which a raisin figure was modeled after him. The figurines, which initially sold for $2.99, were now listed in U.S Toy Trader( and Toy Shop Collectible publications as the rarest of the California Raisin collectibles. Their values were now listed as ranging between $35 and $100.
在進入市場短短的幾年的時間，“Michael葡萄小人俑”已急劇增值。該俑是來自加州葡萄乾廣告，葡萄乾的外形以Michael作為藍本。該俑最初以2.99美元售出，現在在《美國玩具經紀人》和《玩具店收藏品》出版目錄中認為是最稀有的加州葡萄乾收藏品。現在他們的價值被列為介於35美元到100美元。
The first weekend of March was declared Michael Jackson Weekend once again on MTV. The music network featured a special countdown of Michael Jackson videos, a sneak peak at his latest video for "Who Is It", and the MTV premiere of video for "Give in to Me". Michael Jackson specials Live and Dangerous, Moonwalker, and Making Michael Jackson's Thriller were also broadcast during the weekend.
三月第一個週末，Michael Jackson被宣佈將再度現身在MTV頒獎禮上。音樂網路特意為Michael Jackson的MV製作了一個特別倒計時，他最新的MV “Who Is It”掀起一輪小高潮，然後MTV首播了“Give in to Me”的MV。Michael Jackson的特製片“Live and Dangerous, Moonwalker”和“Thriller製作花絮”亦在週末播出。
The video for "Who Is It" is a composite of earlier videos and performances. The song was released by Epic as Michael's next single as a last minute replacement for "Give in to Me", in reaction to the overwhelming public response to Michael's brief a cappella performance of the song during his interview with Oprah Winfrey. In fact, a bit of Michael's performance of the song from the interview was included on the cassette single. "Who Is It" peaked at number fourteen on the pop singles chart and at number six on the R&B chart.
“Who Is It”的短片是將早先的視頻和表演合成的。這首歌曲由Epic作為Michael的下一隻單曲發行，但最後一分鐘替換為“Give in to Me”，Michael在Oprah Winfrey的訪談中的簡短清唱該歌的表演引起了公眾熱烈的反應。事實上，Michael在訪談中短暫的表演也收錄在單曲的磁帶中。“Who Is It”最高時在流行單曲榜上位居14，在R&B榜上位居第 6。
"Who Is It" was the subject of an MTV contest which invited viewers to make a video for Michael's song. The 3，700 entries were narrowed down to ten then submitted to Michael to choose the three finalists. Each finalist won a trip for two to Neverland Valley. The winner was awarded $10,000 and a chance to direct a video for CBS. Eddie Barber, Bill Green, and J.Randall Argue were the finalists that were invited to the ranch, and their video entries were shown during MTV's (下轉P26) "My Weekend at Neverland Valley" June 26 and 27, 1993.
“Who Is It”由MTV為主題的競賽，邀請觀眾為Michael的歌曲製作視頻。3700名參賽者縮減為10人，然後由Michael的選擇3名參賽者最終進入決賽。每個進入決賽的人贏得了兩天的Neverland河谷之旅。獲勝者可得到10,000美元的獎金，並有機會直接為哥倫比亞廣播公司的製作節目。Eddie Barber，Bill Green，和J.Randall Argue進入決賽並被邀請到牧場，他們的作品“我週末在Neverland在河谷於1993年6月26日和27日在MTV放映。
（作者用差不多近4頁的篇幅，對靈魂列車頻獎禮的進行了詳細的描寫。除了大家都知道MJ坐在椅子上精彩表演了RTT，不知道大家是否知道，MJ還有給艾迪墨菲頒獎。對於一生中領獎無數的MJ，給別人頒獎卻是件極少見的事。在第29頁最後兩段，談到MJ贏了與Hugo Zucarelli的官司、並被批准建設動物園）

Michael had three nominations and received the Humanitarian of the Year award at the Seventh Annual Soul Train Awards that were handed out in March. Despite having sprained his ankle the day before during dance rehearsals, he attended the awards presentation and he performed as scheduled.
Michael had three nominations and received the Humanitarian of the Year award at the Seventh Annual Soul Train Awards that were handed out in March. Despite having sprained his ankle the day before during dance rehearsals, he attended the awards presentation and he performed as scheduled.
Michael有三個提名，並得到了第七屆靈魂列車的“年度人道主義精神獎”在3月內。儘管在之前一天的舞蹈彩排中扭傷了腳踝，但他還是出席了頒獎典禮，並按計劃表演。
His first nomination was for Best R&B/Soul Music Video for "Remember the Time". The award went to Boyz II Men for "End of the Road". Michael's first appearance during the telecast came when he was named the Humanitarian of the Year. The award was presented by Michael's friend Eddie Murphy:
他的第一個提名是憑“Remember the Time”獲得“最佳R&B /靈魂MV”。該獎項由Boyz II Men因“End of the Road”奪得。Michael第一次出現在電視轉播是他被提名“年度人道主義精神獎”。該獎項是由Michael的朋友Eddie Murphy頒發：
I address these remarks to a very good friend of mine, Michael Jackson. Now Michael, everyone knows you have broken every sales record known to man and that you have the number one and number two best selling albums of all time and the number one selling single of all time and he's the biggest selling artist ever, but tonight we're not here to talk about that, we're here to talk about your achievements as a humanitarian and your concern about the well-being of children and brothers and sisters everywhere and Mother Earth herself.
我用這些話來向我的一個很好的朋友Michael Jackson致辭。現在，Michael，每個人都知道你打破了所有的唱片銷售紀錄，知道你是最佳專輯銷售的第一和第二名和頭號暢銷的單曲，他是史上最暢銷的藝術家。但今晚我們不再討論這個，我們在這裡要談談你作為一個人道主義者的成就，對兒童福利、四海兄弟和大地母親的關懷。
As the cheers from the crowd threatened to drown Murphy out, he cut his remarks short and said, "Hey, just show the film, huh!" A short film tribute to Michael, narrated by Eddie Murphy, outlined a few of Michael's countless efforts to help children and make the world a better place. Michael, who was on crutches, was helped to the stage from his front row seat by Bill Bray. He was dressed in blank pants and a black jacket (下轉P27頁) with belts across his chest, a red armband, and one shoe. After blowing kisses to wildly cheering crowd, he apologized for his injury, and Murphy insisted he tell how it happened, "You can't just come out like that and not tell us what happened." Michael replied, "You really want to know? I was dancing and I went into a spin and I twisted my ankle very badly. But I wanted to come here to thank everyone." After poking fun at Murphy, "Eddie, I heard you have a new album out, that you're the one whose 'dangerous'", Michael continued:
人群的歡呼聲迫使Murphy縮短了他的發言，說：“嘿，請放短片，哼！”一個致敬Michael短片，由Eddie Murphy旁白，概述了Michael為幫助兒童和令這個世界變得更美好所做的無數的努力。Michael，拄著拐杖，在Bill Bray幫助下從前排座位走上到舞臺。他穿著黑褲子和胸前有交叉綬帶的黑色夾克，一個紅袖章和一隻鞋。向瘋狂歡呼的人們飛吻後，他對他的受傷表示道歉，Murphy堅持要他告訴人們怎麼回事，“你不能只是這樣出來，而且不告訴我們發生了什麼。”Michael回答，“你真的想知道嗎？我跳舞，旋轉然後我的腳踝扭傷了，很嚴重。但我想來這裡感謝大家。”然後打趣Murphy, “Eddie，我聽說你有一個新的專輯要出來，那你是“危險”的”，Michael繼續說：
P27Ever since I was a child, I realized I had a lot of love to share from my soul. The black tradition is a tradition of soul which is a gift of love and joy. Soul is the most precious thing you can share because you're sharing yourself and the world needs that gift now more than ever. The child with AIDS, in the ghetto, is waiting for you along with the starving people in Africa and everyone else who needs healing. Make the world more beautiful by sharing with me the wonderful feeling you get when your soul is lifted up to become pure love. I accept this award on behalf of all the children of the world who are my inspiration and my hope...
自我還是個孩子時，我認識到我的靈魂中有很多愛可以去分享。黑人傳統的靈魂有著愛和喜悅的天賦。心靈是你可以分享的最寶貴的東西因為你貢獻自己，現在世界比以往任何時候都需要的這樣的人。身患愛滋病的孩子，在貧民窟，非洲饑餓的人口和其他需要醫治的人正等待和你一起。讓世界變得更美好與我分享這種美妙的感覺，當你的靈魂昇華為純真的愛。我代表世界各地的兒童接受這個獎，他們是我的靈感和希望...
Michael's next award was for Best R&B Sould Single, Male for "Remember the Time". Michael was wheeled out from backstage in a wheelchair by Bill Bray, then he stood with the aid of a crutch to accept the award:
Michael的下一個獎項是因“Remember the Time”奪得“最佳R&B/靈魂樂單曲男歌手獎”。Michael坐在輪椅上由Bill Bray從後臺推上來，然後拄著拐杖來領獎：
Thank you again, I love you all Thank you Berry Gordy, the Sony family, Akio Morita, Mickey Schulhof, Tommy Mottola, Dave Glew, and especially Hank Caldwell. Teddy Riley, all the program directors and DJ's you (下轉P28頁) play my records Sandy Gallin and Jim Morey and the fans.

For the presentation of the Heritage Award, Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy traded places. This time Michael was the presenter and Eddie Murphy was the recipient Michael has rarely, and never in more than ten years, appeared as a presenter on any award show. He was introduced by host Patti Labelle, "Please welcome the King of Pop, Rock and Soul, Mr. Michael Jackson!" Michael was wheeled out on stage in the wheelchair by Bill Bray, then stood with the aid of a crutch. As Michael began the tribute to his friend, the cheers from the crowd grew deafening and Michael had to remind them that "this is Eddie's moment":

為了頒發“文化遺產獎”，Michael Jackson和Eddie Murphy交換了位置。這一次，Michael是頒獎者而Eddie Murphy是受獎者。Michael在至少10年裡，極少作為一個頒獎者出現在任何頒典獎禮上。他由主持人Patti Labelle介紹出場，“請歡迎流行樂、搖滾樂和靈魂樂天王，Michael Jackson先生！”Michael坐在輪椅上由Bill Bray推上舞臺，然後拄著拐杖站著。當Michael開始讚揚他的朋友，人們的歡呼變得震耳欲聾，Michael不得不提醒他們，“這是Eddie的時刻”: At the young age of 31, Eddie Murphy has carved out a truly spectacular career in almost any direction he choose to go in, including stand-up comedy, television, film-acting film-directing television producing and music included. It would be impossible to cover all of Eddie's achievements and how brilliantly he performed in each area, but let's take a look
作為一個31歲青年，Eddie Murphy開闢了真正驚人的事業在幾乎在任何他選擇進入的領域，包括真正的喜劇，電視、電影演員、電影導演、電視製作和音樂。這是不可能涵蓋Eddie所有的成就，以及他在每個領域是如何的出色，但讓我們先看看
After a short collection of clips from Murphy's many films, Michael introduced his friend, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the recipient of the 1993 Soul Train Music Award's Heritage Award, Mr. Eddie Murphy." Eddie Murphy then said to crowd, "Isn't it nice seeing him getting out and giving people awards and stuff?" He also thanked Michael, "for hobblin'out here and giving me this award."
在播放了Murphy多部電影的剪輯片段後，Michael介紹了他的朋友，“女士們，先生們，請歡迎1993年靈魂列車音樂獎文化遺產獎獲得者，Eddie Murphy先生。” Eddie Murphy對人們說：“是不是很高興看他出現給人頒獎並說臺詞？”他還感謝Michael，“為卓別林在這裡給我頒這個獎。”
Later in the broadcast Michael changed in the gold Egyptian costume he wears in the video for "Remember the Time"(下轉P29頁) and he performed the song sitting in an elaborate gold chair placed in the center of the stage, with his dancers behind him. Seated, he gyrated from the waist up the belted out song like nobody's business, even bringing himself up to stand, balancing himself on one foot a couple of times during the performance.
在後來的轉播中，Michael換上了在“Remember the Time”的MV中的黃金埃及服裝，他坐在舞臺中央的一張精緻金色椅子上與他的身後的伴舞者一起表演了這首歌。坐定後，他隨著音樂忘情擺動上身，甚至在的表演中幾次站起來並用一隻腳來保持平衡。

The final award of the evening was for Best R&B/Soul Album, Male, and it went to Michael Jackson for Dangerous. He was again wheeled out in the wheelchair from backstage by Bill Bray, he then stood on crutches. In accepting the award, Michael acknowledged one of the award presenters, Run DMC:

當晚的最後獎項是最佳R&B /靈魂專輯男歌手獎，由Michael Jackson的獲得。他再度坐著輪椅由Bill Bray從後臺推上來，扶著拐杖站起來。在接受獎項，世所公認的獲獎主持人之一，Run DMC：
Run DMC, I think you're brilliant. I'd like to thank Don Cornelius, I love you Don, thank you. Thank you Berry Gordy, Dave Glew, and especially Hank Caldwell, Bob Jones, and last, the public, the fans. I love you all.
Run DMC，我認為你是卓越的。我要感謝Don Cornelius，我愛你Don，謝謝你。謝謝Berry Gordy， Dave Glew，特別是Hank Caldwell，Bob Jones，最後所有的粉絲。我愛你們。
In mid March, Michael won a legal victory, something he would need to savor considering what lie ahead for him. Hugo Zucarelli sued Michael Jackson claiming he was never paid for Michael's use of recording technology Zucarelli invented, that was used in recording Bad. A judge dismissed the suit, after which Zucarelli reportedly struck one of Michael's attorney's and shoved another. He also hit an attorney from Sony. Zucarelli was booked on battery charges and released on his own recognizance.
在3月中旬，Michael贏得了法律上的勝利，他應該仔細品味一些事：謊言總是領先在前。Hugo Zucarelli起訴Michael Jackson聲稱在錄製專輯時，Michael使用了由Zucarelli發明的錄音技術但沒有支付費用。一名法官駁回了起訴，之後據說Zucarelli打了Michael 的一個辯護律師，之後又打了另一個。他還襲擊了Sony的一名律師。 Zucarelli被控毆打他人罪，交保釋金後釋放。
Also in March, Michael won approval from officials in Santa Barbara County to build a twenty acre breeding ground for apes, white tigers, bears, and other animals on his ranch.
還是在3月，Michael獲得了聖巴巴拉縣的官方許可，在他的牧場內為他的的猿猴、白老虎、熊等動物建立一個占地20英畝的繁育基地。
背景介紹
值得一提的是MJ被稱為“King of pop, Rock and Soul”也是在靈魂列車的頒獎禮上，1989年泰勒致辭時說出。當時和泰勒一起的也是EM，MJ上臺時，EM還為他調整話筒（這是另一個段子：在之前另一個頒獎禮上MJ曾要為求為其頒獎的EM為他調整話筒。）他肩頭拂塵，實在太搞笑了！
