#michaeljackson #musicdocumentary #behindthemusic
Today, Michael Jackson’s legacy is mixed. On one hand, he’s still the King of Pop for his overwhelming influence on modern pop music. Few in history have single handedly have had such an impact on culture. His songwriting, music, and singing and dancing style inspired multiple generations. At the time of the release of this video, Jackson had sold around 400 million copies of his albums worldwide, making him possibly the highest-selling solo artist in history.
On the other hand, Jackson had a messed up personal life. At best, it was weird. At worst, it may have been as dark as it can get, man. In recent years, his reputation has further been tarnished by more allegations of sexual abuse of minors, as seen in the documentary Leaving Neverland.
And so, despite his enormous success, Jackson will likely always be one of the most controversial public figures in history. Now, that doesn’t mean we can’t love his music. Because his music, well…it CONTINUES to make the world a much better place.
