An American Pop Icon - says goodbye

Do you remember the time when we fell in love with Michael Jackson? Do you remember the time when we first met? How did you feel? Giddy with excitement. You wanted the jacket, the glove, the sock, the hat. You wanted to be him! Everyone did.

Do you remember the time when we fell in love with the Jackson 5? Everyone wanted to be like Mike.

He was your first crush. You would spend hours in the mirror trying to dance like him. You even got a Jeri Curl so your hair could be like his! Don't deny it!

And when Thriller came out you begged your parents for the VHS so you could learn the moves (that you still know to this day!)

You used to drink Pepsi because of him! And when Bad came out - you believed you really were BAD! And don't for get the Wiz - Ease on down, Ease on down - down the road! You know you were the scarecrow for Halloween!

And even though his skin color changed, that did not stop you from still loving him because underneath, he was still Michael Jackson.

And when Remember the Time came out - the world stopped to watch his video. He created the Moon Walk, made it okay to do a pelvic thrust and the crotch grab!

The world lost a true pop legend and he will FOREVER be missed but will remain in our hearts.
