michael jackson

I think Michael Jackson was definitely the king of pop in his day. I do not believe his title remains the same now. I think his recent passing boosted his record sales because people wanted to remember what it was like when he was on top. He was an incredible artist and performer. In the 80's no other popular musician could compare to his success. People who usually do not listen to pop music still know Michael's songs, and probably really like a few. Billy Jean is one of my favorites. So many artists, have been influenced by Michael's singing and dancing that it is almost unreal. His mark will be seen in pop music for a long time to come. I think that is his legacy and greatest achievement. Its not how much records he sold or songs played on the radio, its how many other musicians started their careers because of him.
