R.I.P.

Michael Jackson was a music icon. Singer, songwriter, performer, producer - no one has ever come close to his level of popularity and fame throughout the world. What Elvis was to the fifties or The Beatles to the sixties, Michael Jackson was to the eighties and beyond. No matter how creepy his personal life seemed, there would be no Usher or Justin Timberlake today without him. He was the first black person to ever be on MTV. His fame transcended all barriers.
