I heard an interview with Gladys Knight, who responded to a question about Michae’s bizarre behavior, as an adult. She reminded the questioner about all the gifts that Michael’s talents gave to us; transending culture, race, genre, and generation. He did not just change the music industry, he “pierced” it (and us) with unprecedented passion. To those who insist on focusing on the negative aspects of Michael’s life, may they remember that all lives are between each individual and The Lord. As it will be for all of us, someday. Amen! May he be resting in deep and peaceful sleep.

The star had one asset that will likely be the target of much maneuvering by creditors and heirs in the coming months and years—his 50% interest in the Sony/ATV music catalog. Shortly after his string of early 1980s hits that included Thriller, one of the best-selling albums of all time, Jackson was shrewdly advised to buy the Beatles catalog for $47 million. Ten years later, Jackson merged his music company with Sony Corp.’s (SNE) music publishing arm in a deal reportedly worth $90 million to him.

Today, that company owns the publishing rights to thousands of hit songs by everyone from Neil Diamond to Lady Gaga. Music publishers collect royalties from radio stations, movie studios, and record labels every time a song is played or album sold. Jackson’s half interest has been estimated to be worth as much as $500 million. Jackson’s own hits are owned by a separate company, also now part of his estate. But like his life, Jackson’s estate is unlikely to be settled without controversy.

The world has lost agreat musician.

Michael,an eccentric and often misunderstood human being was a “child at heart” he as ultra sensitive and many did not understand him as a human being. What he was able to convey was his talent in the Music world, he melted the barriers across the world with his music.
Today you see people from ALL OVER THE WORLD making comments about how his music impacted them. Michael’s music and legacy will play in forever…
Do you have a legacy? Don’t die in vain.

God Bless all of us for our uniqueness and contributions to the Universe

We took more than we gave to Michael. Having to live under a microscope could not have been easy. I am hoping we all remember the good he brought to the world. Besides being a pop icon he gave himself, his time and money to numerous charities and individuals with compelling stories of need.

Lorna, I think everybody is sad about his passing. He was a rhythmic genius on many fronts, one of a kind to be sure! He will be missed.

I also am reminiscing on the fun memories I have of my oldest son, Zeb, when a youngster imitating Michael’s dancing and singing, then improving his artistic skills by drawing MJ in a lot of those lively and innovative outfits. I enjoy those memories still, will always, and still am in awe that this charismatic young entertainer Michael Jackson could impact so many in a myriad of ways. I had to call Zeb as soon as Micheal’s death was confirmed to share the sadness about the passing and the above memories with him since this son is now in his 30′s, a busy husband and papa and we haven’t talked about mimicking MJ in a long, long time. Zeb had just left his job and heard on the radio a moment before my call. HE was immediately reminiscing the exact same memories I had. This was a touching moment for us to share, now many miles apart. So thank you, Michael, for that too!

Michael Jackson transcended generations, inspired many, entertained millions. He is happy in his new home and will never be forgotten here through his dynamic and prolific offerings. He is forever young.

Re: Michael Jackson

“So many men seem destined to settle for something small. But I, I won’t rest until I know I have it all. So don’t ask where I’m going. Just listen when I’m gone. And, far away you’ll hear me singing softly to the dawn: Rivers belong where they can ramble. Eagles belong where they can fly. I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free. Got to find my corner of the sky.” “Corner in the Sky” as song by Michael Jackson. I pray he is enjoying his corner…

Here it is… Please, share it with the world.

Michael was such a phenomenon- a gifted child wonder whose genius changed the world of music, dance and broke down racial barriers on MTV with the huge success of “Thriller”. Let us remember him for his talent and essential sweetness and with love.
