I will always have fond memories of his earlier music, my dad used to have cassette tapes of Thriller and Bad, I grew up listen to them a lot, they were both fantastic albums. If you do not own Thriller then you need to go buy that right now! There are too many songs to list but here are a few that I think are worth note.
It is a sad news indeed, as Chainsaw said, his death makes me old enough to remember him feel as though a part of my childhood is gone forever.
RIP Michael Jackson, your mark in music history never faded.
Some of the blogs are paying tribute to the man. I figure I would take some of those tributes and compile them here:
Normally, you are the champion of blue sky; you can make nearly anything look and sound better. You banish the clouds when you talk about the future and your inspirational style comes through loud and clear. But you might have a tough time today finding something to smile about. Nevertheless, it’s still important for you to hold on to your positive vision, for your optimism touches more people’s lives than you realize.
*We’ll sing a song for Gordon, He’s big, he’s fast, he’s proud
His paint is blue, so strong and true, and his whistle’s really loud!
The fastest train on Sodor, you can’t forget his name
So when we’ve sung for Gordon, well, let’s sing it once again
Through wind and rain he thunders on
On him we can rely
Reliable and useful too
And that’s the reason why
We’ll sing a song for Gordon, He’s big, he’s fast, he’s proud
His paint is blue, so strong and true, and his whistle’s really loud!
The fastest train on Sodor, you can’t forget his name
So when we’ve sung for Gordon, well, let’s sing it once again
The journeys never tire him out
He’ll work all day and night
And everyone admires him
His boiler gleaming bright
