Crazy Guy, Great Music.
MJ was a prodigious talent. His music was a truly eclectic fusion of genres into his own unique but highly accessible and contagious idiom, with shades of funk, soul, rock, pop, rap, blues, jazz and even classical. He invented his own style of vocalisation, with his throaty punches and stutters, his exquisitely sweet vibratoed croonings, his gutsy grunts and growls, all articulated and punctuated by his outstandingly syncopated sense of rhythm. He reflected and expressed the zeitgeist of his time, and looked and sounded like a total superstar.
Of course there remains serious questions about his personal life and proclivities. But I still love his totally classy catchy music, especially "Thriller" and perhaps his best offering, "Off The Wall".
