R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Sad, sad news. Michael Jackson has passed away earlier today and it's hard to believe. His legacy may, in some respects, be tarnished by his personal life. However, on the music side of things, he was one of the true legends of our time. Likely, a legend of all-time as well. I don't think I ever met anyone that didn't have a soft spot for his music whether it was his contributions to the Jackson 5 or throughout his solo career. He will be missed but at least we have a massive catalog of music to remember him by and a pile of great music videos as well. R.I.P. to an icon.

Well said Dom. He was a true talent and even though i think Quincy Jones had a big input with his off the wall, thriller and bad trilogy Michael definately had a raw talent that is something you don't see that often. His personal life was shrowded with propaganda which shadowed him. Big big shame he's gone.
