When Michael Jackson died two months ago, I figured the media was gonna have a ball with covering his death and the aftermath of it. But I can’t even say I expected some of the shit that’s come out of this.
If anything good has come out of it all, I can say that there’s now a new generation who is more aware of Mike’s music. He was beginning to fade out of the consciousness of the public, unless it concerned some circus-like story for the media to pick up on. But now, his legacy as an artist has been covered by almost every other magazine, website, and radio station there is. There’s a lot of younger kids who hadn’t been privy to how major and important MJ’s career was, and now they are.
As many hits as Mike has to his name ranging from ’69 to 2001 (which in itself is unparalleled), there’s also a number of songs from his pre-King Of Pop era that are somewhat underrated. And so, on what would’ve been his 51st birthday, here’s six to grow on:
