...Michael Jackson was absolutely the King of Pop!
I was at Girl's Camp when I was told that Michael Jackson died! My first reaction was shock! Despite the scandals of the last few years, I was taken back to the 80's and the Thriller record! I would play that thing over and over and practice his amazing moves in my bedroom until late in the night! I would open the record cover and just stare at him in the white suit laying there with the tiger! I would watch MTV and wait for his music videos to come on (remember when they played music videos)! As his skin color changed and his nose got smaller, I still thought he was a legend - weird but still pretty amazing!
I wonder if people felt this way when Elvis Presley died? I was a newborn when he passed. He was an icon for his time, but wasn't such a great role model near the end of his life!
So as a way to acknowledge his dancing greatness and his music that brings back fond memories, I have uploaded many of my favorite MJ songs onto my music player! May you be taken back to the days when he looked like a fine young black man! TURN UP THE MUSIC and DANCE!!!!!

I had the album too! I thought it was so cool how it opened up to that picture! We watched VH-1 for a little bit this weekend, they were playing all MJ stuff. It was a fun little trip done memory lane.
