Michael Jackson

By now all of the living beings (and most of the unborn) have mourned MJ's death.

I was going through Michael Jackson death articles and obituaries - and one thing that struck me was: People were pouring truck-loads of adjectives on all the virtues he possessed (and some he never had!)...the same people who sometime ago were criticizing him like anything.

Here is one comment on one of the articles that sums people's reaction well:

There's no Biz like Show Biz

When he was up they frowned.

They smiled to see him drowned.

How they are quick to remember and boast.

But where were they when he needed them most?

I do not want to comment on his virtues, his life and controvercial events...I just want to listen to his songs...again and again!

Here are 2 songs I came across recently for the first time and liked very much...

The first one is from his childhood band Jackson 5...Just look at the confidence he shows at the tender age of 7 or 8:

The second is one of his earliest solo hits..this sounds like Bappi Lahiri songs of 80s (undoubtedly copied from similar songs)
