There are those who remember Michael Jackson as a good singer/dancer more famous for his outrageous clothes and antics, and of course the controversy he generated, and there are those like me who remember him as an extremely talented artist whose contribution to the music industry is so immense that it probably change the landscape forever.
I remember Michael Jackson more as someone who revolutionised MTV, prior to him, MTV was nothing more than a filler film that showed an artist doing a song and dance piece. But Michael Jackson working with such varied talents as Eddie Van Halen, Paul McCartney, Eddie Murphy, to famed directors such as John Carpenter to Martin Scorsese, came up with such productions that his MTV presentation is actually a short story/movie in itself. Just watch (again) any of his music videos, and you’ll know what I mean. I do not mourn the man, but the passing of a great artist. His title of “King of Pop” is well deserved, FAREWELL TO THE KING!
