Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough...

Yesterday, June 25,2009, a day that devastated the music industry forever, Pop icon/legend Micheal Jackson passed away at the tender age of 50 from an apparent heart attack in his Los Angeles home.

I for one grew up listening to Micheal Jackson. He had a big impact on my love for music, art and creative vision. He was a creator, an innovator, a humanitarian and role model for many.

Though he had many ups, he had a lot of things bringing him down. He was called all types of names and accused of some terrible things but no one really know the truth behind his "madness". We all just knew that he was "Wacko". But was he really.

But it all remains that he was person. He had feelings and he loved the world. We all should celebrate the life and the music of this icon and not dwell on the negative. He did so many positive things for people that it would never amount to the negative things we "know" about him.

So to celebrate the music of a legend, here 5 things I think you should know (or seen) about the late the great...Micheal Jackson

1. Moon Walker..if you haven't seen you re crazy..i still have the Tape!!!
2. American Dream the Jackson Movie(best film ever)
3. He was in the Guinness book of world record for giving the most money to charities.
4. the titles of his 6 solo albums (from 1979 not including remix albums or re-released)
5. His First movie
