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.

I will always contend, and the world will eventually see, that MJ's great musical legacy will be his pre-adolescent vocal performances on records by The Jackson 5. I think he knew it, too.
It wasn't Michael's music, but he sang his lungs out on that stuff.

Interesting that you mention “Thriller.” If you read the autopsy report on the state of Michael Jackson's body you could swear he became one of the Zombies from the Thriller video. That's the true impact of fame and obsession. Conquering the world or the music world has a price.
