9.0 … Michael Jackson

July 20, 2009

While I’ve been slacking in my posts I feel it only appropriate I address the one major piece of many major pieces of news that occurred within the last few weeks.

The passing of Michael Joseph Jackson – 1958-2009

Michael created the sound of a generation. There would be no Britney, Justin, Ne-Yo, Chris, Beyonce, Ciara, Christina, Usher, Mariah, R. Kelly, etc. if it were not for the musical creativity that flowed from Michael Jackson. $750,000+ albums sold. 13 Grammys. 13 number one singles. More musical achievements than any other artist. He truly was the Greatest entertainer that ever lived. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
