- Motown 25 live performance still amazes people as if it were yesterday
- Man in the Mirror performance on the Grammys still gives me chills
Michael Jackson was a once in a lifetime event and thankfully we got to experience and enjoy his talent.
Off the Wall, Thriller, and Invincible are all in heavy rotation on my Zune. Rock with You is still my favorite song and video.
Rest in Peace Micheal Jackson, you were the greatest of all time!
