I've taken flak over the years, but that has never stopped me from unabashedly rocking out to Michael Jackson. Say what you will about his personal life ... but no one can dispute the fact that the man was talented beyond measure. He was a true original and his star will shine forever.



His impact upon the music industry is incalculable. This sample map is only a glimpse at the scope of his influence. He has inspired countless artists over the years and will continue to do so for many more.



Rest in peace, MJ. Only God can judge you now.
