Summary: The soul powerhouse never knew love like this before—when she met the late Michael Jackson in New York City in the ‘70s, that is. “I thought I was gonna marry Michael. I was so in love with Michael,” Stephanie tells The Mutha Knows Show host Mutha of her one-time Valentine. “Michael was really, really shy. But back then, I was aggressive. When he had his place on Sutton Place, I would spend the night and I would do his laundry… And I even cooked for him—even though I couldn’t cook. But you know what? Even as bad as it was, Michael was such a gentleman. He still ate it.”
