Michael Jackson: The Death of Peter Pan

The King of Pop passed away June 25th 2009, at the young age of 50.
My whole generation grew up to Michael Jackson's Thriller album. He taught us to love pop with his fast beats, catchy tunes, and addictive melodies. He introduced us to the world of dancing. His fluid movements guided by a rhythm that flowed through his body, he glided on air and mesmerizes us still, decades later, with his "moonwalk".
My prayers go out to his devastated family, especially his children.

Here I want to remember his songs that are dear to me (in no particular order).
"Thiller" - The first song I ever heard.
"Billie Jean"
"Heal the World" - The first song I wrote the lyrics down to.
"Beat it"
"Bad"
"Way you make me feel"
"You rock my world"
"Dangerous"
"Smooth criminal"
"Do you remember"
"Wanna be starting something"
"Black and White"
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD: I don't really care much for the people saying his death is a blessing. Our relationship with the man was through his music. Not his personal life.
So fuck off.
