On the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, I need to make my cousin aware of the most incredible, talented, controversial and influential artist of all time.
Through all the controversy and scandal, Michael Jackson's talent rose above it all to be the greatest artist of all time. So, Alyssa, in case you don't believe me, here is a list of his accomplishments:
- Thriller, Michael's 1982 album, is the best-selling album of all time. OF ALL TIME.
- Michael Jackson has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice
- Received multiple Guinness World Records
- Won 13 Grammy awards
- Won 26 American Music Awards, which is more than any other artist, ever
- Had 13 number one singles in the United States
- Sold over 800 million albums worldwide
If there was ever any doubt about his talent and awesomeness, it has been put to shame.
And just because I love this music video - one of the most played music videos EVER - here is Thriller :)
