A King Remembered - Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was an incredible talent, and his talent as a singer, dancer and writer will live on for generations. While he is the antithesis of what I am covering here, the King of Pop versus the indie folk/pop/rock singers. But I have heard many of them covering his music live, and can hear their respect for his gift.

One of my favorite covers has been Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean. It is the performances of Jackson's music by others that will prove to be his true legacy, the celebration of his talent by others.

Jay Brannan put out a tribute via his YouTube channel just now. It is wonderful.

  1. Chris Cornell's version is my absolute favorite. His voice has such a haunting quality to it....

    Michael Jackson will be missed, that's for sure. His songs are timeless....I wonder when the televised tribute will be, cuz you KNOW there will be one!
