I didn’t care much about Michael Jackson when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, but I came to appreciate his talent more once I was older. Aside from some of the other things that were already mentioned, he was known for some insanely unique and distinctive dance moves, and everyone wanted to do them. You know how kids these days are ‘dabbing’ or doing these dances that they saw on fortnight or wherever? Where did any of those popular moves originate from? I have no idea. But when you saw someone doing a Michael Jackson move, you knew EXACTLY who it came from.

whenever i hear his name (or that of his brothers), this is always the first thing that comes to mind.
the next thing that pops in is usually this one.
It just occurred to me they probably wrote the song ABC because they were so young that’s what they were learning in school at the time.
Heh, not really, but holy crap they’re young.
