Michael Jackson's 60th Birthday

Today Michael Jackson would have been 

60 years old.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 9 years since he passed…

leaving behind a legacy of 

unparalleled music and unforgettable performances.  

(You might have guessed it, I’m a Michael Jackson fan).

I will always remember his 1993 Super Bowl Halftime performance…

not sure what teams were playing, 

not really google worthy 

but it was a performance that made the 

Super Bowl halftime show the event it has become today...

something to stay on the couch and watch.

(Bri you were 1.5 years old.)  

Before Michael Jackson,

most halftime performances included marching bands

and was the time for 

a beer run, 

a bathroom run, 

and a run to the oven to check on the food.

Michael Jackson't entrance onto the Super Bowl stage, 
was beyond amazing.
really google worthy

One moment it looked like 
he was on top of one Jumbotron...then a second Jumbotron...
and then...
he was catapulted onto the middle of the stage…
where he stood for 90 seconds like a statue…
frozen…
not moving a muscle... 
until he turned his head then stayed that way for another 90 seconds…
before he performed. 
It was EPIC.

If Twitter was around in 1993, 

he would have crashed the internet…

and he didn’t even have a Kim Kardashian booty.

Anywhoooo.....

Whenever you hear Michael Jackson songs,

you want to “Get On The Floor” and “Shake Your Body.”

It doesn’t matter if you’re “Black or White”,

“Ben”, “Dirty Diana”, or some “P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)”,

you feel like you “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin."

With a groove like Michael Jackson’s,

it’s only “Human Nature” you want to get on the floor and dance.

 If you’re like me you “Don’t stop til you get enough.”  

You just can’t “Beat It.” 

We each “Remember the Time”

when we first heard Michael sing and dance with the Jackson 5;

a young MJ who easily took the stage and limelight without any nerves or “Butterflies.”

 From early on, Michael  never had any privacy and 
I’m sure there were countless times he

wanted to “Scream” and yell “Leave Me Alone.”

Michael Jackson was loved around the world. 

His music found a way to bring people together and to “Heal the World.”

Those of you who also love Michael Jackson know that “You are Not Alone.”

When it came to the “Man in the Mirror”…

Michael had become a controversial figure over his latter years. 

Some thinking he was “Bad”, “Dangerous”...maybe a “Smooth Criminal"

and others thinking he was a brilliant artist and music icon.

Regardless of your position, his amazing talent and artistry earned him the title

‘King of Pop.’

Not only was his music "Workin' Day and Night"…

but his music videos were always a “Thriller”

with their innovative and “Off The Wall” revolutionary approach

to telling a story and creating a short film.

As one of his millions and millions of fans “I Can’t Help It”…

but I miss him "For All Time."

 Michael Jackson still had a lot of music left to give and was “Gone Too Soon."

Michael.....

Whenever we hear your songs...
we still wanna “Rock With YOU.”
