King of Pop Forever
It's been a minute fam but I'm back. As the film "This Is It" plays in the background I was inspired to finish my statement on the 3 greatest music artists in history, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Prince. Michael Jackson, the King of Pop is obviously the most popular artist of all time. His star power has only gotten brighter since his untimely passing. When I was a child MJ was as the height of his fame and vividly remember how larger than life he was. I often wondered was he that big because I was a child or was he just that big in general? What I discovered was the latter. As someone in the business I analyze trends and buzz and things of that nature. And there as not been an artist since then to capture the attention of everyone from every culture no matter the individual's genre preference. R&B fans, Rock fans, Country fans, Jazz fans they all came out to buy his albums and see his concerts. Now there certainly are a lot more subgenres now than there were then. But still there arent any artists today that would capture those big 4 markets.You know what we allllll know the MJ legacy. Nuff said.
