Wow is all I can say. I’m still shocked that Michael Jackson has died. Michael Jackson was beloved by many all over the world. His music crossed racial boundaries more than any other musician in the lst 50 years. As I watch MTV and CNN, I realize that there are far too many songs to list. Of course, I remember Thriller, Billie Jean, and We are the World. But the list goes on and on.
I heard Al Sharpton say one thing that I can agree with, “Before there was Oprah, before there was Tiger Wood, before there was Barack Obama, there was Michael Jackson.”
And I have to admit that I agree. Michael Jackson’s release of the Thriller album mad it cool for white people to dance to a black man’s music. Of course it didn’t hurt that he took America’s sweetheart, Brooke Shields, to the Grammy’s.
Even though he was surrounded by controversy and eccentric behavior, I just wanted to remember him as the guy dancing at the Apollo… doing the moon walk. I’m sure I’ll have MTV on for the next couple days while they play his videos non stop.
What will be your memory of Michael Jackson?
