Michael Jackson






Can't seem to find Thriller that doesn't have embedding disabled so here is the link instead:

I don't want to go on about how Michael Jackson lived his life or how he died, but I don't think I can let his death pass without mentioning him. His music was such a big part of the era I grew up in. I wasn't a huge fan, but I do remember being amazed by the music video 'Thriller' - I LOVED it :) and I remember loving the song 'We are the World' and listening to it with my French penpal when she came over to stay. I remember the Pepsi commercials, the funny stories in the paper about him - all the jokes and news reports, the hysteria surrounding him.

I have to say I much preferred his older - Motown music/ Jackson 5's to his more recent music.

Anyway, here are a few of my favourites. Ben - just because it reminds me of a charity song that was used in the UK many years ago. I've loved it ever since. Thriller - because it holds many memories for me - not because it's such a great song - I loved the video soooooo much!!! 'I'll be There' just because I like it :) What were your favourites?
