When news broke that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson had passed away, it was a shock to many of us, so it wouldn’t be fair for me to say that I was the only one devastated. Instantaneously, memories flickered in my head of the days when my brother and I would sneak away to our neighbour’s house who let us dance to MJ’s tunes on her gramophone. As an air hostess, she had traveled the world and collected records from all over, and we used to be in perennial awe of the age-defying gramophone.
Michael Jackson’s life may have ended, but his magic never did. It seems that even today, his music is just as popular and widely heard. Have a look at this video, where kids are dancing and emulating the King of Pop.
Indians weren’t the only ones enamoured by MJ. Kids from all over the world still groove to his tunes.
He was The Smooth Criminal that burgled our hearts.
