It's been just over a week since Michael Jackson's passing, and I've been asked to write a follow-up to my previous post.
To be honest, I'm not really sure what I think. First of all, it's very sad that he died. And after seeing the photos and videos of his concert rehearsals, I can only speculate that he was on his way back to some level of success and normalcy. Most importantly however, recent events are bringing his music to the forefront again. If there is any positive side to all of this, it's that MJ had a full career behind him when he passed away. Not everyone was so lucky.
And with all the Michael Jackson music surrounding us last week, I'm adding some songs to my original list.
17) There Must Be More To Life Than This (with Freddie Mercury) - I'm not sure when this was recorded, but the two iconic voices in unison tingles the spine. I'm not really a fan of the song to be honest.
16) The way you make me feel - I didn't like this when it was released, but it's grown on me
15) Who is it - That opening bassline. Wow.
14) In the closet - At the risk of repeating myself: that bassline. Wow.
