As most should be aware by now, Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest today.

I grew up listening to MJ and have fond memories of singing along with his songs with my brothers while cleaning up the front porch or washing my bike or other household chores thrown at me by my folks. blasting MJ while working almost transported me out of the job in hand and I would forget when / how the job got completed.

I am a loyal fan and though his latest album Invincible did not live up to the high expectations we  set for him, I found a few gems in them that I do enjoy listening often. I love the fact that he innovated extensively and brought MTV to main stream and at the same time, could stun the listener with his soulful ballads. I personally love his ballads and at times try to ape his singing style (pretty much without any success).

I guess I could try to make a list of my favorite songs but I’d rather forget the list and go back to listening his albums back to back and relive my teen years.

I was really hoping MJ would be able to release another album ad return to prime form once again before he retires but I guess that was never meant to be. But although MJ (The King of Pop) is dead, his music will live on… And if I we you, I would dig out that album in you closet and listen to it again and appreciate the mastery of voice. Or if you prefer watching him gyrating with Naomi Campbell, head to YouTube.
