Michael Jackson

I will miss Michael Jackson and his music, his larger than life persona, and all the melodrama that comes with being a great musical superstar. Michael Jackson appealed across the board to all age groups. Not only was I was interested in Michael Jackson's music and what I could read about him in the tabloids, but my late grandmother was too. I have fond memories of my grandmother and I sitting at the kitchen table, looking at the tabloids together, and remembering her commenting about what she read in the magazines. She was fascinated with Michael Jackson's friendship with Elizabeth Taylor, and also the hyperbolic chamber, chimpanzee, and other gossip items that were written about Michael Jackson from that time period. Of course, we didn't believe the tabloids, but we loved to read anything about Michael Jackson!

Michael Jackson was an incredible entertainer, dancer and singer. He had a special quality to his voice, and even though there will be Michael Jackson impersonators now, I don't think anyone will ever be able to fully emulate Michael Jackson's unique voice and style of singing.

He is a mysterious and unique legend, along with Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Elvis Presley.
