He was a slight man on a huge stage wearing a glittery glove. Now it seems like it should have been ridiculous, even in 1983, and yet he sang, he moved, and the room filled to the brim. We were seduced where we stood.
Though the pain and controversy of Michael Jackson’s later life became too much for most of his fans to watch, pretty much everyone is thinking about him today. Michael Jackson was my first brush with Pop, my first crush. His talent still leaves my jaw hanging.
Not only could he move, he patented some of them:

What a great tribute! He will be missed, but not forgotten!
