A small tribute
“Heal the world, make it a better place for you & for me and the entire human race. There are people dying and if you care enough for their living, make it a better world”
Words that became the anthem for millions the world over in the early nineties. The voice of the man who mesmerized & inundated the 80s generation in a way which can be compared to the Elvis or Beatles era of 50’s & 60’s.That voice emancipating from a face which changed with every album, the trademark black trousers & the peeping white socks radiating from the moving black steps synchronizing like an illusion, would set the stage ablaze. Screams of delirium would reverberate in the bedrooms thousands of miles away. He was a ‘Smooth Criminal” with a wish to “Heal the World.”
Michael Jackson is no more. He was 50.
How the little boy wonder of Jackson5 manifested into the undisputed King of Pop would go down into the legends of folklore as a journey of sheer genius at work. No wonder the whereabouts of his brain today is making headlines. If ‘BAD” was good then “Thriller” was brilliant. “Billie Jean”, “Dangerous”, “Why you wanna trip on me” or a “Liberian Girl” and countless others inspired a generation and would remain in the hearts of generations to follow. The VCPs & VCRs of those days would yearn to have a certain ‘Moonwalker” in its prized custody.
The dark shades which hit his character in the later part of his years and subsequent redemption from these allegations made noise. But for Jacko fans, the message was
“You have to show them that you are really not scared,
They’ll kick you, they’ll beat you,
Then they’ll tell you its fair,
So just beat it”
Whatever be the truth, MJ would be remembered for whatever he did best. The genre of POP music became synonymous with MJ and reached its summit. Hall of Fame would certainly agree & the departed genius deserves a standing goodbye.
Thanks Michael for the music.
