Shaheen Jafagholi has just performed at the Michael Jackson Memorial and it was a fitting tribute by one so young, I'm sure he made his idol proud. After watching the youngster audition on Britain's Got Talent, Jackson invited Shaheen to perform with him on his UK tour but unfortunately that wasn't to be... After Michael's death, the Jackson family contacted Shaheen to personally invite him to the service and perform. As Shaheen gathered himself backstage, legendary singer/songwriter Smokey Robinson gave an emotional introduction to the song he penned - Who's Loving You. He said "At the time I couldn't believe it was Michael singing. How could such a young boy sing about loving someone and losing them? I had to meet him, he sang with so much 'know'."
