No comics posts in any of my 3 blogs today, my favorite pop singer has gone.Michael Jackson, 50 years old, died yesterday (June 25, 2009) in Los Angeles. Michael Jackson “King of Pop” was pronounced dead after being transported to a hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon. At 2:26 p.m. (Los Angeles local time) CNN reported they had confirmation that the Los Angeles Coroner had reported Michael Jackson’s dead.
One of the most talented superstars in the history of music who had shown top and bottom, several controversies; however fans never quit him. Talent is talent.
Martin Bandier, Chairman & CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, said: "Michael was the kind of amazing talent that comes along once in a lifetime. He was an incredible recording artist, an insightful businessman, an unmatched performer, and a true icon. To all of us at Sony/ATV Music Publishing, he was also a trusted and passionate partner, who was very proud of our accomplishments. He will be dearly missed. We wish his children and entire family our deepest condolences."
Five of Jackson's solo albums – "Off the Wall," "Thriller," "Bad," "Dangerous" and "History," all with Epic Records, a Sony Music label – are among the top-sellers of all time. During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and "Thriller" as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award.
Michael Jackson started in the music business at the age of 11 with his brothers as a member of the Jackson 5. In the early 1980s, he defined the art form of music video with such ground-breaking videos as "Billie Jean," "Beat It" and the epic "Thriller." Jackson's sound, style and dance moves inspired subsequent generations of pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists.

i pay homage
Prabhat,
ReplyDeleteI am going to reproduce my comment from TCP, over here, as it matters to put my thoughts on the biggest news on Pop culture in recent times.
Michael Jackson will live forever remain etched in the memories of every music fan. I was a great fan of his Thriller & Dangerous Album.
I still remember those days, when I used to see Jackson's poster everywhere, in Saloons, Washer Shops, General Stores in the neighborhood, many of whom weren't able to even spell his name properly. A true tribute to his glorious days in Music World.
Not much you could say about his life though, but it's a lesson what a celebrity should and should not do when they attain fame. Hope that the budding musicians take his life as a lesson while building their career.
Hope he finds his joy in the afterlife. May his soul rest in peace.

Please accept my deepest condolences.
ReplyDeleteI was so shocked, when I heard the news in the morning... this is one of the most shocking news I have woken up to....
मोहम्मद कासिम: It's an unrecoverable loss to music world.
ReplyDeleteRafiq Raja: First time Michael Jackson attracted me in 1991 when I listen Jam on CD player. Earlier I never took English Music seriously.
ReplyDeleteYou are true the budding musicians should learn lessons in all aspects.
Generally I avoid controversial topics. If you go through details, mostly scandal related with Michael, were created by businessmen who generally collect major part of earning of artists, and opponents. Michael Jackson was the first King of Music who tried to control finance himself. But those cunning guys had find ways to disturb him directly and indirectly us – we didn’t get new music of Michael. Finally all are loser.
Really anyone could fall in depression – what the use of helping persons, when some guys coined false charges, and all started suspecting. Forget what he had done for millions of poor and children.
With his wealth, if even he was guilty and cunning could be able to buy anything. I don’t believe mostly charges against him, not because I like him, don’t find logic.
By the way I have all his songs including 5 Jackson periods in MP3 format. :)
Roshmi Sinha: I was at net, when first time this news came online. Next several hours I was shocked.
ReplyDeleteMJ was a phenomenon.....it was sad to hear about his life and insecurities during the latter part of his career. But as a musician and entertainer he was a class apart. RIP MJ - you were the best of your generation.

मोहम्मद कासिम: What's use of posting already posted scans. There are only few blogs for Indrajal, not thousands. Raj is posting only Hindi Indrajal, wish to discourage him? These are over 655 Indrajal which are not posted at net in Hindi. or post a new version of already posted.
ReplyDeleteJaspal Singh: It's really sad, a genius has gone.
ReplyDeleteOld Man Mozz: Worse part of his death is in name of his debt, businessmen and advocates will really make him bankrupt, his kids will get nothing but debt only. It’s said his debt is 400-500 million USD and his 50% share in Sony/ATM only - estimated value is 500 million to 1 billion USD.
ReplyDeleteGreat to find another fan of MJ.
ReplyDeleteRIP in MJ
Temple Tiger: He was a genious, different from others.
