I have vague memory about me and my sisters watching him to perform and trying to imitate Michael Jackson's moon walking during late 80s. Then during early 90s my oldest sis used to scare me with Micheal Jackson's picture from some local gossip magazine... his face was really freaky by then... She used to sneak behind me and put the picture right front of my face. He was cute looking during early 80s... no idea what happened to him and his face... o_O

My uncle is the one who introduced me MJ. When I was a kid, he used to play MJ's songs and try to dance like MJ did, it was fun to watch. I still like listening Michael Jackson and to me he is really the king of pop, but as fdmaxey said above, pity that his career spoiled with some unfourtunate incidents later. Now he passed away. [ RIP ]

I'm old enough to remember when his "Thriller" music video first came out. It was on MTV. It caused such interest that many of us got together with our friends to watch it, just to see what the fuss was about. The full video was incredible. There was nobody that didn't like it. I remember thinking that Michael Jackson was a musical and theatrical genius. That's why many of us from that time were so sorry to see his career marred by what came later.
