I had a quick look at the itunes panel as I synced my phone to the laptop. Scrolling through the list of the Top 15 albums, songs, videos etc, everywhere I looked it was Michael Jackson.
MJ songs on itunes
In this screen shot of the top 15 music videos sold on itunes, all bar one were Michael Jackson songs.
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as “Beat It“, “Billie Jean” and “Thriller“ — widely credited with transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form — helped bring the relatively new channel to fame.

One of the music icons of our time has now passed on. I remember vividly those MJ music videos. The controversy aside, Michael Jackson made HIStory. He captivated an entire generation, across cultural and national boundaries.
He showed us that it don’t matter if you’re black or white.
Nice tribute. MJ did left a great legacy in the entertainment industry. From his dance moves, songs, to the videos – A true performer.
