As almost everyone should know by now Michael Jackson has passed away today, June 25, 2009 at 50 years old. It’s a very sad day for the music industry and the world. Jackson changed the world through music. Michael Jackson was an entertainment super star combining incredible musicianship, dance moves, creativity and charisma. When I was about five years old I remember dancing to “Beat It” and knowing the music on the album “Thriller” was genius. Songs like, “Smooth Criminal”, “Billy Jean” and “Bad” showed his amazing musical ability. Where Michael Jackson made his mark for my generation was the music video. His videos were like small movies. Michael Jackson constantly raised the bar musically and continued to have success throughout his career. With countless hits, Michael Jackson does not need a huge story about him and his life but I am sure there will be many. This should be a time to remember Michael Jackson for an amazing performer and musical revolutionary.
