May his legend live on not tarnished by any ill accusations. May his legacy be that of pride and love for a truly born talent. May we all take a moment and thank him for working 45 of his 50 years to make us smile.

When I was a kid I loved listening to Michael’s music.  I had my glove, fedora, black shoes, white shirt and white socks.  I used to just sit in my room with my record player and listen to Thriller all the time.  There is a magic to his music.  If any one else sang Billy Jean it would not have worked.  If Frank Sinatra himself sang The Girl is Mine with Paul McCartney it would not have been the same.  I grew up knowing what a hit song was because of him.  I don’t care what your favorite style of music is or what you think your into.  Michael has sung to most everyone around the world and was a star during the begining of the world becoming a very small place.  I will always be gratefull for his contribution to this industry and my life.
