A year ago today, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died, ironically, during Black Music Month. I, much like many people my age, grew up listening to Jackson's music. In fact, whenever he debuted a new music video, I went to my friend's house, and we watched it together. It was like going to a premier of a blockbuster movie.
Lately, after reading Rodney Reynolds' column on the famed entertainer, I have been listening to Jackson's music. He was a brilliant singer, even at twelve years of age. His brilliance rises to unheard of hights when he hits that incredibly high note at the end of Who's Lovin' You. He was truly a great singer, a great dancer, and a great enterntainer. With the countless tributes to Jackson that are occurring around the world, I believe people are saying: We want you back.
