Song of the Day: Human Nature - Tribute to Michael Jackson (1959 – 2009)



Michael Jackson died yesterday in California. Artist of Thriller, the best-selling album of all time and winner of countless awards including 18 Grammies, the King of Pop left us prematurely at the age of 50 as he prepared to stage a comeback tour in the UK.

For many of us who were alive and dancing in the early and mid-eighties, we will remember how his music played a central role in our lives. Who can forget those inimitable dance moves and high-pitched notes that left us all spellbound? Albums like “Off The Wall” or “Thriller” and songs like Billy Jean, Rock with Me and of course Beat It, still contain the magic that changed the musical landscape forever 25 years ago and will undoubtedly continue to leave a mark on future generations.

Music is such a wonderful part about being human. Music has the ability to touch us deeply, attach itself to our memories and live on well after the artist has gone. It is a perfect accompaniment to the celebration of life. In the same way as Elvis or Marliyn, Michael Jackson's legend will live on and continue to touch us. Hard to Beat It!
