My earliest memories was from the early 80s, when I was probably about 7. I would play, stop, rewind, play on the cassette player, and write down the lyrics so I could sing along. I had a big poster of him in his red leather jacket. To this day I can’t help but start to dance when I hear the first few beats of Billy Jean or any of his older stuff.

He was a bizarre character, stranger than life, and for me it’s hard to think of him as a real person, but he was. I think the problem, for all the people who say how bad he was, how deranged, strange, etc, they aren’t trying to understand where he was coming from. They are projecting their “normal” life onto him, and it’s quite clear he didn’t lead a normal life. I don’t think he molested children, no way. Slept in the same bed? Sure, he admitted that. Weird/wrong in our eyes? Yes. But he obviously wasn’t a grown man. He was a child too.

My parents tell me i started bobbing my head and rocking to his music when propped up, at 4 or 5 months. When i was bout 6 or 7, Dad brought two tapes detailing his life. I still remember scenes of him practising dancing outside of his house, late at night. The first tape i truly ‘possessed’ as a kid was ‘Dangerous’. i played it both sides at least 2 times everyday after school. I still remember being transfixed when i saw him do the moonwalk the first time. The first song i memorised ever was ‘Heal the World’. And then all the other songs on the tape. Over the years i started listening to other stuff, other singers. Then in the latter part of college what was inbred came back. I was kicked out of the library coz without realizing, i’d turned the iPod to full blast when listening to Black or White.

It is only on his passing away i realise what he meant. To my life, my growing up years, to our first visions of what LARGER THAN LIFE means. He meant so much. To our childhood.The first music we enjoyed, relished, started dancing to. None of realised it till now, or that it would hurt like this.

God bless him so much. RIP.

I also couldn’t help but think that, before Thursday, you wouldn’t have heard is name in anything but the butt of a joke. Really makes you reconsider how and why we ridicule people.

Thanks for embedding videos viewable outside the states (unlike most sites today…)
I have always been a big fan, but didn’t realize how much his music has been a big part of my life until this morning. Despite the controversy in recent years, I’ll always remember his songs and the memories I have dancing and singing to them in so many places in the world and growing up. I was really sad this morning but I feel better now after sharing the good memories and singing with other fans. He died a legend and will always be remembered as a musical genius, an amazing choreographer and the king of pop

My first tape was Michael Jackson’s BAD.
For a man so drug through the mud, so tormented and abused, the scope of his musical legacy cannot be measured.
