Let's forget about his personal life and the press coverage and look at his musical talents.
The man has had a career spanning almost 40 year, and nobody can deny the mans vocal and dancing skills, and he ain't a bad songwriter either.
He is one of the best selling artists of all times, and after 26 years, still holds the record for the biggest selling album of all time with THRILLER.
The man changed the face of the music industry with his revolutionary music videos and was the first black artist to make it big on MTV, and paved the way for other black artists.
Love his or hate him, nobody can deny all the guy has achieved musically, and he deserves to be considered one of the all time greats!!!
