Well said, Chuck. Anyone who thinks Jackson did not have a long lasting positive influence on music has never heard “Thriller.” His personal sin and demons are obvious, no less than those of Alexander the Great, who brutally murdered his best friends while conquering half the known world. It doesn’t lessen their impact.
My favourite angel was Cheryl Ladd. She is the only one still doing much in the entertainment game it seems.
Chuck can be a class act...but don’t tell him I called him “Chuck”.
