362. how can i not thank him?
1958-2009
He sure made a huge impact to the world, thanks to the numerous controversies stuck to his name; nevertheless, every bad remarks/ publicity/ etc. thrown at him was overpowered by his MUSIC.
I did have a couple of MJ favorites* (which includes the video below). After all, I did grow up to my father's music. He has a wide collection of MJ vinyl CD's & cassette tapes that I often rummage during weekends or after school. I strongly remember how I would sing every lyric from album sleeves whilst I pop the tapes in the player.
To put it in a nutshell? Some of his songs are part of my life's soundtrack.
*My favorite album of all was History Volume 1.
Michael Jackson will always be one of history's BIGGEST music icons, as most people say.
I couldn't agree more.
