@@erykajackson3587 Yes we did !! Every mustic store was packed with people, lines were long and we waited yo by MJ’s next/ new album!! Oh yeah we did that all the time!!
I'm 64 years old. The first time I saw Michael was on the Ed Sullivan show in 1969 and they sang, "I Want You Back." I lost my 8 year old mind. It had only been a few short years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act of 1964 and 1965 and the Black struggle was real (still is). And to be a little Black girl seeing him and his beautiful brothers on TV was def Black pride. Godfrey is speaking truth.
I've heard my aunt and mom speak about it just like that. Seeing them perform on TV and the black pride, but growing up in the West Indies! As stated in the video here, we felt as if he was "one of us". And truly, noone can fill his shoes, especially in that regard. Love me some MJ❤❤❤
Amen sis, I'm 63 and you made me remember everything through your eyes...thank you. From the north bay in the Bay Area we all were hooked as well..be blessed ❤🙌 ❤🙏
@@syebethel MJ was and is worldwide. I lived in Singapore when I was in my early 30s. The "Bad" album had come out in 1987 and then Dangerous in 1991 and they were nuts for him in Singapore. That's a country with predominantly Chinese, Indian and Malay people. Michael touched everyone.
Talk your shit Godfrey! Youngins today have NO CLUE the genius of this man. He’s not only in his own league but his own PLANET!!! Anybody who puts ANYBODY above him as a performer has no idea and sadly…never will. Respect to the king.💙🙏🏾💙
MJ is the greatest musical visionary, singer dancer, writer, and performer of all time. His choreography, video sets and costumes were beyond his time..they were really like watching movies.
If you are a Christian or believe in God, that's like saying God will never create something more significant than what the world has seen. Your words, not mine.
@@JaeJayMinjoon As you claim to be a Christian ✝️, Let me ask you this...has there ever been another Moses, David, Solomon, Virgin Mary or Jesus Christ since after 'God' created them? The question answers itself.
I didn't need Chris's confirmation tho 😂 I never ever looked at him or anyone like they were on Michael or will ever be on Michael's level. I respect Chris for being respectful tho, he threads lightly with that topic 😂😂💯💯
That's what I love and respect about Chris. He maintains his humility. However, if Michael were alive today, I think those 2 would definitely be friends and work together. I do see a lot of similarities though.
They went deep into the Amazon and asked locals what they know about the outside world, they said America, and micheal Jackson. That is how famous he was. Before the internet. When he died, I was taking the bus. I saw people running. Screaming that he was dead. People were crying in the streets. No one.will EVER br famous like this, like ever. Thinking about him being gone still makes me cry. I hope h3 is at peace
Yeah, it was wild out in the streets for real. I will never forget it. I made it my business to attend a memorial dedication to him put on by my local radio channel. We all signed a giant sympathy card that was sent to his family. Chris Tucker was there honoring him with sweet words and impersonations. 💯😎
The whole world stopped and for one day had peace for Michael.... There were dances in the streets for his music... I remember watching it on TV with tears running down my face.. I had always wanted to go to his concert but never got the chance to
I’m 64 years old I seen the Jackson 5 in 1976 in Kalamazoo Michigan and I paid $9.50 for the concert ticket that was never torn in half and I still have it to this day! he was the greatest of all time!!
MJ will never be replaced, you can never be serious comparing him to any Artist !!! Geoffrey is absolutely correct !!! 💯🎼🎵🎶🎤 I’m from big NYC and MJ would have these 15min specials for his new hit and we would be outside playing and the streets of NYC would clear out when it was time to see the premiere showing on tv!! Then the next day in school students would be dancing like MJ !! 🎤🎶🎵💯 I was in elementary school !! It’s 2024 and we still go crazy about MJ !! He will never be forgotten!! MJ invincible & Unbreakable!!!💯🎶🎤🎼❤️❤️❤️❤️ MJ FOREVER!!!☝🏽🎵🎤💿💿💿💿🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Fans all over the world still go crazy about MJ !! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 We love you!! MJ !!
When I was a kid, my folks had a VHS tape of one of his concerts, and I saw grown-ass men crying and passing out, and all Mike was doing was standing there. He turned around and turned his head to the right, and another 50 people passed out. That's not just stardom, that's POWER. MJ will forever be the best to ever do it, and there's no debating that.
that is an actual fact that which you speak of. He hadnt said a word yet.. or even removed his sunglasses.. just surveying the crowd..and if he just glanced in your general direction for only a second..that could have been it for you.
I'm a 74 yo great grandmother. I loved Michael and the music all through the years he was growing up, him and his brothers. Brilliant! I still love Michael and still get excited over his music and still dance to his music just like I did back in the day! My first grandchild is named Michael. There will never be another Michael Jackson. He's truly the GOAT!
I'm a GenX-er......and Michael Jackson was that brotha. Every Halloween, Thriller is played ALL THE TIME!! His songs will always stand the test of time 💯💯💯
I’m glad Godfrey pointed out how back then people had to physically leave their homes to go buy the album at a record store. There was no streaming. No ordering to be delivered to your home. You had to go out and search for that thing then purchase it before it was gone from your area. And there were 1Million people doing that every single week for a while at the beginning of Thriller’s run. Absolutely mind blowing how popular Thriller was/is.
I genuinely believe some people were just created to bring joy to people and mj was 1 of them. Mj is untouchable & i wish people would just stop compare people to him. To this day people impersonate him, he is known EVERYWHERE BEFORE THE INTERNET. He is an innovator, a style icon, he made choreography A THING, he created movied like music vidoes. Thriller is a Halloween song and played every Halloween. Are people ok? This man birthed an entire generation of artists. Every1 copied him. He never blacklist anyone, or blocked anyone's career ir stole from.anyone and then pretend to say its paying homage. He genuinely respected people and his peers. People fainted when the man just turned his head at his concerts.There WILL NEVER be another mj & that's ok.
Please say it louder! This chosen beautiful gifted black boy and man was on another level! IDC how his looks changed over the years he was and will always be a proud black, one of a kind, God gifted human being!!!
Nobody could touch the J5! The TV series and cartoon were so cool. 😎💯 As for MJ, often imitated, never ever duplicated. There will never be another. He was talented beyond talented. Multi dimensional. 💯💯💯
we sat around the tv for the thriller music video premier as a family way back in 83 and I have never to this day seen anyone with the star power that Michael had he was incredible. Still my favourite artist of all time🙏
MJ remains an unparalleled icon in music history. No other artist has broken as many records: from unmatched sales figures to countless awards, MJ set standards that remain untouchable to this day. His popularity transcended borders, reaching a level typically reserved for world leaders. Wherever he went, he was welcomed like a president, with tight security measures and millions of fans losing their minds just to catch a glimpse of him. Beyond his unprecedented fame, Michael Jackson's music has shaped generations. His timeless songs and groundbreaking performances continue to inspire artists and fans across the globe. Michael Jackson was more than a musician - he was a global phenomenon who shaped the world like no other artist. His music, his dance, and his legacy will live on forever.
Exactly. 🎯 I really think that's why they wanted him gone so bad. Like the famous line from the 'Malcolm X ' movie: "that's too much power for one ninja (substitute) to have!". MJ even spoke about their evil in his songs. They ripped that talented man off big time. 😤
Tell um God!! These kids don't have a clue how big Mike was. Thriller is iconic and no one will ever come close. They betta put some respect on his name.
My sentiments EXACTLY Godfrey. I remember being a young girl falling in love with Michael and the Jacksons, primarily Michael. These constant comparisons are quite insulting. There's NO ONE that can enter in the same space as him. MTV at the time, didn't want to air his videos. Epic's president or owner threatened to pull all of the label's artists if they didn't and the rest is iconic history. EMS on standby at every concert, people being in complete AWE of watching Michael perform. Until anyone of this generation can do a snippet of that, then a conversation or debate can be had. The BADDEST EVAH To Grace A Stage To Entertain and Sing. Love You Michael. 🤎👑🤎⭐✨🤎
Let me tell you something, when thriller came out my uncle had the album and we are from a South African township. Don't ask me how he got to know about him but we new, imagine those days with apartheid and segregation but my uncle had the whole thriller album
Thank you for this tribute to the GOAT. I have been a fan from the beginning.His rendition of Who's Loving You STILL sends shivers down my spine years after I first saw it. His performance of it on Ed Sullivan is...mind-bending, other worldly. If you haven't seen it, PLEASE watch it. That a child that young could have that kind of command of his voice and the stage is beyond comprehension. He was truly on a whole other level at each stage of his career. ✨️🎤💛
Exactly! That’s why I don’t understand why a few years ago Charlemagne was like Beyoncé is the best live entertainer ever😏🤦🏽♂️ I’m like dude you need to go back and look.😂✈️📠
Jay Z probably threatened Charlemagne the Fraud to say that, just like Chance the Rapper lied and said “Beyoncé Coachella performance was better than any Michael Jackson performance” Beyoncé cannot touch Michael Jackson and unlike Charlemagne and Chance I don’t need someone to threaten nor pay me to say who is more talented, MJ was the GOAT. Now that I think about it, maybe Jay Z forced Kanye West to interrupt Taylor Swift acceptance speech at the MTV Awards to shine light on Beyonce, not to mention all the artists who thank Beyoncé once they win an award or Jay Z going on rant saying “some of you don’t belong in the category” when Beyoncé’s country album wasn’t nominated 🤔
I won't put my black icons up against one another male or female. But MJ was the greatest hands down! He had vocal skills, dancing skills, the look, charisma and what ever it was to make people scream and pass out! Glad I lived to see him in his era! Passionate tribute Godfrey and you honored him in the way he truly deserved.
I once walked into a Mall in West Palm Beach, when I walked into the Mall everybody in the Mall was stunned. I mean the workers in the stores was even outside in the mall. I’m like what’s going on and they said Michael Jackson just left the mall. It was crazy. Just his presence had us all like WoW Michael Jackson just left.
Mike would offer entire concert profits to charity. He would also offer lower prices for his concerts so everyone got a chance to enjoy He would visit sick children in the hospital that were on hospice care, invite sick children to his amusement park, bought them gifts with his own money
When I was in Iraq. The people over there was asking if we ever saw him in person bc we're American. During an ACTIVE WAR!! Asking about being in his presence like he was a real life Prophet or something💯
Godfrey Said That With his Chest and NO lies told!!💯 No Cell phones,internet,Spotify TRUE RECORD SELLS, PHYSICALLY WENT TO THE STORE!!! PS I Feel that Way about Mj sister JANET JACKSON The Female Version Beyonce,Britney, Stand Down
Got damn Godfrey! This was awesome! 👌🏾 My parents played Thriller for me at my 5th birthday party, my favorite part was always the evil laughter at the end. Thanks bro!!! Memory unlocked 🔓
I did the Michael Jackson dance steps in thriller and smooth ceiminal at 6-7 years old (in Nigeria) and I'm now 42. I watch his 30th Anniversary over and over. Love your analysis Godfrey😢💪🏾💪🏾
BRO! i was just showing my 6 year old all his hits and she was amazed by his style of dancing and his clips... Thanks for this ! Keep up the good work bro, greetings from Holland....
Whenever there was a Michael Jackson concert they had to build a whole hospital right next the location, ambulance everywhere. Men and women were fainting all over, the paramedics taking people out on stretchers, can't even keep
MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE KING OF POP FOREVER. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, MY PARENTS BOUGHT ME THE ALBUM, I'M GOING BACK TO INDIANA I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. HE'S MY SISTER PERSONAL FAVORITE, SHE JUST BOUGHT THE THRILLER ALBUM ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. THIS MULTI-TALENTED SUPERSTAR HAD IT ALL, THE LOOK, VOICE, DANCE, HE WAS A WRITER PRODUCER, SINGER WITH THAT INCREDIBLE VOICE OF HIS. I LOVE ALL HIS SONGS. AND DON'T FORGET WE'RE THE WORLD, WHERE HE COLLABORATE WITH SINGER LIONAL RICHIE, AND THE LATE LEGENDARY MUSIC PRODUCER QUINCY JONES. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JACKSON IN THIS LIFE EVER. TODAY SINGERS SOME OF THEM, I DON'T LISTEN TOO THEM, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SING PERIOD. SO RIP MICHAEL, WE LOVE YOU, AND WE ALL MISS YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL, MY SISTER AND I ARE TRUE FANS OF YOURS🙏🙏🙌🙌❤️❤️
Baby, the children understand so well they are sad they weren't there. My child cried when I first told her he died. She didn't flinch when I told her Santa wasn't real.
Preach, Godfrey!! PREACH!!!!!!!! Michael Jackson was indeed the BADDEST Musical Mofo who ever lived! He was THE KING, with unmatched & untouchable skills as an entertainer. MJ was PURE MAGIC! MJ was PURE GENIUS! LONG LIVE THE KING!!🎤🕺🏽👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
HERE for the MJ & Jackson family respect! First record I ever bought as a child was a 45 "Enjoy Yourself".❤ Still my fave artist! And yes, he was huge. Took over the Caribbean too where we know all the lyrics and some don't even speak English. Rest in Power, King Michael👑 - you still influence.
When I was 4/5 years old, about 1990, everyday I would watch the ‘Moonwalker’ movie….to this day, I can recite damn near every word, no exaggeration. I played the hell out of ‘Moonwalker’ video game on Sega. I never got to see him perform live. When he passed, I cried. I remember getting the news of his passing like it was yesterday. He is the greatest musical artist of my lifetime, easy.
The King of Pop 4ever. Michael Jackson changed the game and no matter how they tried to destroy his legacey, they can't take that away from him. Long Live MJ.....
2:31 It's even bigger than this; the RIAA wasn't keeping up with Michael Jackson's sales figures for "Thriller", while claiming that it was outsold bu the Eagles, which is a ludicrous claim beyond words.
Godfery we all here with you. Anyone from this era knows how crazy MJ was. We just as crazy! You forgot when he came out on stage and just stood there for 10mins not moving and the crowd just kept getting louder and pol fainting.
I was born in 93 so sadly I grew up watching his greatness and his scrutiny at the same time. I love knowing of people who lived and was inspired by MJ in the 70's and 80's. It must have been such an amazing time!
MJ was and is still the greatest performer the world has ever known and will probably ever know. His voice, is music, his dance and his whole repertoire has never been matched. The next best 3 performers (all black) do not come up to half his talent. Artists still copy his work. And let's call a spade a spade, Elvis, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones put together, do not come up to half his entertainment level and talent, it's as simple as that. MJ took musical entertainment to levels unheard of, levels that no entertainer today, can hope to emulate and match. May his Soul rest in peace. Michael you were one of the true unadulterated pleasures of life.
I appreciate you honoring him 2 days ago, according to when I saw this. I've honored him on my channel a while ago. I literally just honored Prince earlier today. It's on content creators to honor those who should be. Don't let them be lost to history.
For real!! Telling the truth and facts,I been listening and loving the Jackson’s five forever. Stilled listening today’s I’m 58 years old black woman from New York.. real pure beautiful soul music. Thank you my brother!! I love you too❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Godfrey my bro, you nailed it all, MJ will always be EPIC, be a LEGEND, be a TRENDSETTER before trends were a thing!! His music stirred my soul to the ground. WHO IS IT & SMOOTH CRIMINAL (Videos too) are my top tunes of Micheal Jackson of all time. CHaaamonnn Teehee!! 🤣👍😎🤘
We stood in LINE to buy that album. In LINE with no complaints!
@@erykajackson3587
Yes we did !! Every mustic store was packed with people, lines were long and we waited yo by MJ’s next/ new album!! Oh yeah we did that all the time!!
Oh, I remember those days. It was fun.
Michael Jackson was on another level. No one compares to him. He was truly the greatest.
His own category!!!
As only Godfrey could explain it
Amen Amen and Amen

Godfrey you telling nothing but the truth. Nobody has ever turned the world on its head like Mike did back in ‘83-‘84. Absolute superstar.
There will NEVA, EVA, NEVAH be another star like MJ. And I'm a Prince fanatic since '83. But Michael had me from birth.

Miss the guy! I wish he had done at least one show. Forever a true legend.

@@kadesmith3054 OH HELL NAL, SHE CANR EVEN SIT IN THE SAME CLASS OF MIKE NO WAY. CHANCE SMOKEN DOPE
I won't put my black icons up against one another male or female. But MJ was the greatest hands down! He had vocal skills, dancing skills, the look, charisma and what ever it was to make people scream and pass out! Glad I lived to see him in his era! Passionate tribute Godfrey and you honored him in the way he truly deserved.
He's such a 🤡 for that. She is not. 🙄
Give em his flowers 💐
I once walked into a Mall in West Palm Beach, when I walked into the Mall everybody in the Mall was stunned. I mean the workers in the stores was even outside in the mall. I’m like what’s going on and they said Michael Jackson just left the mall. It was crazy. Just his presence had us all like WoW Michael Jackson just left.
Mike would offer entire concert profits to charity. He would also offer lower prices for his concerts so everyone got a chance to enjoy
He would visit sick children in the hospital that were on hospice care, invite sick children to his amusement park, bought them gifts with his own money
Michael Jackson is the GOAT.
Godfrey told no lies!!!!💯💯✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
😂😂🤣🤣 the re enactment of the dancing is great by you Godfrey, who does this, who does this...while proceeding to do the exact steps🤣🤣💯🙌🏾💪🏾👏🏾
I coincidentally was watching the thriller premiere last night and glad I came across this this morning . Mj is the definition of a star.
When I was in Iraq. The people over there was asking if we ever saw him in person bc we're American. During an ACTIVE WAR!! Asking about being in his presence like he was a real life Prophet or something💯
A 🔥 tribute to be remembered for all time!
Michael Jackson is and will forever be THEE FIRE GREATEST!!!! 🔥🔥 The KING 👑 Nobody else even comes close foh

Got damn Godfrey! This was awesome! 👌🏾 My parents played Thriller for me at my 5th birthday party, my favorite part was always the evil laughter at the end. Thanks bro!!! Memory unlocked 🔓
I did the Michael Jackson dance steps in thriller and smooth ceiminal at 6-7 years old (in Nigeria) and I'm now 42. I watch his 30th Anniversary over and over.
Love your analysis Godfrey😢💪🏾💪🏾
BRO! i was just showing my 6 year old all his hits and she was amazed by his style of dancing and his clips... Thanks for this ! Keep up the good work bro, greetings from Holland....
Another great video. Thank you 🙏🏾 for this truth.❤💯
Thank you for your service, Godfrey. No one could have said it better, bro. Only us fanatics know. Mic drop!
Whenever there was a Michael Jackson concert they had to build a whole hospital right next the location, ambulance everywhere. Men and women were fainting all over, the paramedics taking people out on stretchers, can't even keep
MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE KING OF POP FOREVER. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, MY PARENTS BOUGHT ME THE ALBUM, I'M GOING BACK TO INDIANA I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. HE'S MY SISTER PERSONAL FAVORITE, SHE JUST BOUGHT THE THRILLER ALBUM ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. THIS MULTI-TALENTED SUPERSTAR HAD IT ALL, THE LOOK, VOICE, DANCE, HE WAS A WRITER PRODUCER, SINGER WITH THAT INCREDIBLE VOICE OF HIS. I LOVE ALL HIS SONGS. AND DON'T FORGET WE'RE THE WORLD, WHERE HE COLLABORATE WITH SINGER LIONAL RICHIE, AND THE LATE LEGENDARY MUSIC PRODUCER QUINCY JONES. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JACKSON IN THIS LIFE EVER. TODAY SINGERS SOME OF THEM, I DON'T LISTEN TOO THEM, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SING PERIOD. SO RIP MICHAEL, WE LOVE YOU, AND WE ALL MISS YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL, MY SISTER AND I ARE TRUE FANS OF YOURS🙏🙏🙌🙌❤️❤️
The Smooth Criminal video was 🔥🔥🔥. No one has ever touched it
Godfrey clam down the kids would never understand you literally had to be there.
You’re right but they need to get a glimpse. I did the same thing Godfrey is doing with my son.
There is no calming down Godfrey....the man is fired up!....Awesome tribute to the King Of Pop! Well deserved!
Baby, the children understand so well they are sad they weren't there. My child cried when I first told her he died. She didn't flinch when I told her Santa wasn't real.
Mike's talent was out of this world. Who makes hits from 8 into thier 50s?
A lot of artists want the title, without defeating the champion.
Preach, Godfrey!! PREACH!!!!!!!! Michael Jackson was indeed the BADDEST Musical Mofo who ever lived! He was THE KING, with unmatched & untouchable skills as an entertainer. MJ was PURE MAGIC! MJ was PURE GENIUS! LONG LIVE THE KING!!🎤🕺🏽👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
South Africa, my grandmother in the 80s was an MJ fan, she was in her 60s.
He was the BEST We Had. May He R.I.P.
HERE for the MJ & Jackson family respect! First record I ever bought as a child was a 45 "Enjoy Yourself".❤ Still my fave artist! And yes, he was huge. Took over the Caribbean too where we know all the lyrics and some don't even speak English. Rest in Power, King Michael👑 - you still influence.
When I was 4/5 years old, about 1990, everyday I would watch the ‘Moonwalker’ movie….to this day, I can recite damn near every word, no exaggeration. I played the hell out of ‘Moonwalker’ video game on Sega. I never got to see him perform live. When he passed, I cried. I remember getting the news of his passing like it was yesterday. He is the greatest musical artist of my lifetime, easy.
The King of Pop 4ever. Michael Jackson changed the game and no matter how they tried to destroy his legacey, they can't take that away from him. Long Live MJ.....

It's even bigger than this; the RIAA wasn't keeping up with Michael Jackson's sales figures for "Thriller", while claiming that it was outsold bu the Eagles, which is a ludicrous claim beyond words.
LOVE THE PASSION!!!!! talk your shit!!!!! Mike is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME idgaf who poppin today!
MICHAEL WAS THE GREATEST MUSICIAN, ENTERTAINER,PERFORMER EVER! HE WILL BE MISSED FOR ALL OF TIME!
M.J's music was not about selling sex and noises like what they so called music now.
Godfery we all here with you. Anyone from this era knows how crazy MJ was. We just as crazy! You forgot when he came out on stage and just stood there for 10mins not moving and the crowd just kept getting louder and pol fainting.
I watch Michael Jackson videos every day. So I’m happy this popped up in my timeline. He’s still so inspiring.
Don't forget the box of honeycomb cereal boxes with that plastic 45 you had to cut out
Thanks for triggering the memory, l didn't think about it!
well said Godfrey😎💪🏿 Nobody is on the same level as Michael Jackson😎🙏🏿
I was born in 93 so sadly I grew up watching his greatness and his scrutiny at the same time. I love knowing of people who lived and was inspired by MJ in the 70's and 80's. It must have been such an amazing time!
I miss skipping school to go to release day at Strawberries
You are CORRECT!! Sir, Godfrey! Thank you.
I want to give a shout out to you Godfrey for standing up for black culture! Keep up the good work brother!
MJ was and is still the greatest performer the world has ever known and will probably ever know. His voice, is music, his dance and his whole repertoire has never been matched. The next best 3 performers (all black) do not come up to half his talent. Artists still copy his work.
And let's call a spade a spade, Elvis, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones put together, do not come up to half his entertainment level and talent, it's as simple as that.
MJ took musical entertainment to levels unheard of, levels that no entertainer today, can hope to emulate and match.
May his Soul rest in peace. Michael you were one of the true unadulterated pleasures of life.
I appreciate you honoring him 2 days ago, according to when I saw this. I've honored him on my channel a while ago. I literally just honored Prince earlier today. It's on content creators to honor those who should be. Don't let them be lost to history.
For real!! Telling the truth and facts,I been listening and loving the Jackson’s five forever. Stilled listening today’s I’m 58 years old black woman from New York.. real pure beautiful soul music. Thank you my brother!! I love you too❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
AMEN. WE MISS YOU KING OF POP
Godfrey my bro, you nailed it all, MJ will always be EPIC, be a LEGEND, be a TRENDSETTER before trends were a thing!! His music stirred my soul to the ground. WHO IS IT & SMOOTH CRIMINAL (Videos too) are my top tunes of Micheal Jackson of all time. CHaaamonnn Teehee!! 🤣👍😎🤘
