Michael Jackson is a name which every music lover knows he is a legend and his music is remarkable. I know him by reading about him in popular magazines and the internet.

Michael Jackson’s fashion influence is quite literally unparalleled. The biggest musicians today, like Beyoncé, Kanye, Madonna, Janelle Monae, Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Rihanna — the list is endless — owe him a huge creative debt. Michael Jackson was the very first pop star to define what it meant to be a bona fide fashion pioneer. He essentially immortalized military gear and those iconic sparkly gloves, and basically started the trophy jacket trend in the ‘80s. He was nothing short of a fashion icon.

Michael Jackson's voice was predominately light and agile with a nimble, rhythmic dexterity that allowed for complex vocal runs, as well as allowing it to mimic instruments- such as drums- or employ trademark grunts and exclamations that were controlled and achieved via proper technique. The voice also had the strength and stamina to hold notes for lengths of time, without wavering in pitch, and the ability to emote the meaning of the lyrics exceptionally. I think there will be nobody like this music legend in the music industry.
