Music #09 - Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson
(1958 - June 25, 2009)

His looks changed over the years. (He suffered from vitiligo.)

In July 2009, his fans did 'beat it' over the world; to list a few:

* Hong Kong

* Taiwan 

* Montreal, Canada  - note the dancing cops

* Stockholm, Sweden - impressive.

MJ himself did it this way:

     

Bad

Billie Jean
moon walking

Beat It / 闪开

Thriller

Free lessons, in case you would want to mimic his moon walk or spin.
               

See if you could then do better than this young talent in China.

A wow Chinese version

The trailer in his Smooth Criminal album has a song that excites me. It is a cappella by a group of South Africans called Ladysmith Black Mambazo: no instruments other than hands clapping and feet stepping.  The best call-and-respond black songs that I have heard.

* The Moon is Walking

One of their songs was sung by a group in Vienna. 

* Homeless
