I may not be a great fan of this man, I may have not listened to his big hits, I may have not bought his Music CDs, but what matters is the world loses a big big big talent! A person who broke down barriers for blacks. He opened the way for the black community to enter the music world.He was an American recording artist, entertainer and a great businessman.His famous hits that I am aware of and really love are "Beat It" , "Billy jean" . His moonwalk and the complicated dance steps can never ever be done or created again! At the Oprah Winfrey show he spoke about how bad his childhood was, how he was always abused by his father and how he was treated. Inspite of all the lonliness that he felt during his childhood he has become a man of honour with all the music and dance that touched each one.He has donated and raised more than 300 million dollars for beneficial causes through his Heal the World Foundation, charity singles, and support of 39 charities.
There have also been times when his image has been tarnished either by child sexual abuse or being largely in debt! He was a man who in his childhood fought against his childhood and gave miracles to the world of music, dance, MTV and the then generation and who in his adulthood fought agianst his adulthood to save all that he had created in the glorious years of his life!
But toward the end, he dies honorably, he dies with millions of people who cry for him, he dies with a head held high, he is an imortal! He has gained every respect that he deserves after his death! I would definitely miss a star like him!
Kudos to him!
May his soul rest in peace!
