I've told this story several times since I heard about Michael Jackson passing. I've heard his music throughout my lifetime. I like some of his songs and although I didn't follow him, say, like Fleetwood Mac, I own a few of his cds. Years ago, during a miniseries about Michael Jackson, I heard him sing a song for the first time. I asked my sister what the song was as she knew more about MJ's music than I do, and she told me it was Who's Lovin' You. This is not a song that is really my cup of tea (give me The Love You Save, Music And Me, Beat It, or The Way You Make Me Feel any day!), but I could NOT believe what was coming out of that kid's mouth! Here was this 10 year old kid with a vocal take of a 40 year old on a big old blues song. It floored me. I took my iPod to work and even had a couple of people listen to the song.
Like him or not, Micheal Jackson was a huge talent. His dancing alone speaks for itself. He did all right in the music department too. Rest in peace, Michael.
