Jackson added, "No, that's why I don't put awards or trophies in my house. You won't find a gold record anywhere in my house. Because it makes you feel like you've accomplished 'Look what I've done! I always want to feel [like] no, I haven't done it yet." Meanwhile, on his 62nd birth anniversary, many fans remembered the legendary singer and shared tributes on their social media handles.
