Jacko is Dead

The earth is not the same today - Michael Jackson is dead. With all of his dancing, I would have thought him to be extremely healthy.

I have always loved Michael Jackson and his music. Michael Jackson was absolutely gifted in music. He was an amazing dancer, but also had the skills to write his own music.

Michael Jackson, also known as the King of Pop, has left a deep imprint on popular music and culture.

Rolf Schmidt-Holtz, CEO, Sony Music Entertainment, said: "Michael Jackson's unsurpassed artistry and beloved music brought joy to every corner of the world. We join today with his millions of fans in expressing our profound sadness and we offer our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. It was a true privilege for all of us in the Sony Music family to work with one of the most talented superstars in the history of music. We will miss him greatly."

Many of his records were among the top-selling records ever, including the ever popular "Thriller."

Starting at age 11 with the Jackson 5, Michael had a long history in the music business. Michael was a businessman as well as a successful artist and dancer. He was one of the first African-American artists to get a broad audience through MTV.


In 1984 Michael Jackson bought the rights to most of the Beatles songs. His business holding were so vast that his estate will be tied up for years.

As a long time fan of Michael Jackson, I am creating a site to honor his work, the Michael Jackson Death Tribute stop by from time to time and let me know what your memories are of Michael Jackson.

Let's all take some time to honor Michael Jackson and his music. To the sounds of Thriller, let's all get up and dance .
