The King of Pop

While I was familiar with James Brown's, (the King of Soul) music, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" "Black and Proud" "A Man's World" "Lickin Stick" "Please Please Please" "Popa Dont Take No Mess" and many other hits.....; James Brown was before my time..... Michael Jackson, the King of Pop was "MY TIME." I grew up on "I'll Be There" "ABC" "Ben" "Never Can Say Goodbye" "The Love You Save" "Billy Jean" "Thriller" "Dancing Machine" "Man In the Mirror" "Earth Song" and hundreds of Michael and the Jackson Five Hits... It's no secret that we all loved Michael and that Michael impacted the world like no other artist of our time; perhaps saving Elvis Presley; thus Graceland, Neverland; WOW...... Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll is gone. James Brown the King of Soul is gone. Bernie Mack, the King of Comedy is gone. Johnny Carson, the King of Late Night is gone. Luther Vandross, the King of Rhythmn is gone. Tupac Shukur, the King of Rap is gone. And Now Michael Joseph Jackson, the King of Pop, is gone. While I may have used my Blogging Power to make some of these men King, the point is they're all gone. None like Michael Jackson. I was happy that Michael had a will....Folks reading my Blog... get a will...If you have anything; little or much, then you have a need for a WILL. I was happy that Michael gave his Mother, Children and Charities his estate. I was so happy that he put someone in charge of helping Mrs Jackson handle the estate... So that no one can take advantage of her. Wasn't it great to see such a classy service with dignified people speaking so intelligently and well of Michael and the Jackson family! Al Sharpton was off the chain. I was holding my breath and so afraid that he would get up and play the racial card, just make a fool of himself, the Jackson family and the African American race. He didnt. He was excellent; and he did not hog the spotlight and left no place for media criticisms...Al Sharpton's stock went up with African Americans. Where was Jesse this time? hmmmmm, interesting! Where was Oprah? Usher killed me crazy with "Gone to Soon". Lionel Richie was filled with emotion and challenged but did very well. It was just a great classy service. The Martin III and Bernice could have sat down much sooner, and Shelia Jackson Lee, responding to Michael's critics....she could have been left off the program for the insignificant comments that she gave and the length of time she took in giving them. I was told that responding to negativity only feeds life into it. We were not there to defend Michael; only to Eulogize him. Al Sharpton may not have been most truthful in saying it but he said it best, "There was nothing strange about Michael Jackson" it was strange the things that he had to deal with and how he dealt with it....Even his brothers said, Michael could not walk out side of his door without being Mobbed.. Michael, you did the best you could with what you were working with! Rest in Peace!
