Reliving 20 of Michael Jackson’s Greatest Hit Songs
June 26th, 2009
The tragedy of Michael Jackson’s death today at only 50 years old is something that we, the world, will be hearing about for weeks if not months from now. The mood around the offices at VH1 and MTV are shocked and in awe, as can be expected. It is unbelievable shocking and saddening.
Michael Jackson, or The King of Pop, as people of a certain age will always think of him, was an icon — musically, culturally, and for many crying, screaming fans, spiritually. He was greater than just a man — there was a time when people revered MJ as a God. And for good reason. Putting together the following music video compilation of 20 of his Greatest Hits, you realize that he really was — is — The King of Pop. Song after song of singable, danceable (and at that, he was the best), catchy, world famous tracks. They just don’t make artists like Michael Jackson anymore. He will live on forever in history.
It seems almost trivial to make a video compilation, as Michael’s genius is consuming and overwhelming. But it’s also a fitting and necessary reminder as to who Michael Jackson is and once was.
