I will never forget the night this 25th Motown Anniversary was on and the whole family sat around the TV and was mesmorized by this performance. It still stands the test of time and no matter how you feel about how MJ lived his life, his talent and influence cannot be denied. He was electric live and you could not take your eyes of off him. You can see and hear him everywhere in today's pop music. Thriller will always be the cassette I wore out and had to get a new one because my BFF Suzy and I would listen to it over and over again in our tree house. I knew every word by heart.
I was lucky that my Dad introduced us to all kinds of music, but Motown was a staple in our house and I consider myself lucky to still have some of those LPs, including The Jackson 5, and MJ's Off The Wall. Now I just have to get his old turn table up and running again.
MJ's legacy will always be controversial but you cannot tell me you do not want to get up and dance when you hear these songs.

I hope he finds the peace he seemed to be always looking for, I am thankful I got to experience the times he was most prolific.
