Michael Jackson — the child star who rose to become the ‘King of Pop’ — has passed away, leaving thousands of fans in disbelief.
As the world comes to terms with the death of a pop culture icon, many of us cannot help but look back at his life and say he may have died before his time was over.
But to be able to understand just what kind of an impact Michael Jackson had on the world, we would have to go all back to the 1980s.
Michael Jackson was the first African-American star of the MTV generation, with record sales for ‘Thriller’ and number one hits like ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Beat It’. He was on of the world’s most beloved figure at the height of his fame, and the mere mention of his name could make people do the ‘moonwalk’.
Almost everyone adored Michael Jackson, and his celebrity was staggering.
Michael’s music and influence cut across music genres and extends to this new generation of artists like Justin Timberlake.
Sadly, Michael’s passing came just as he celebrated the 25th anniversary of ‘Thriller’– one of the best-selling albums (and music videos) of all time, and a show in London scheduled in a few weeks.
Michael Jackson will surely be missed, but fans will always have the legacy of his music to come back to.
As a tribute to The King of Pop, let us know what your favourite Michael Jackson song is and why.
