Never Dreamt You’d Leave in Summer

Being abroad I wasn’t able to post something sooner, but we’d like to pay tribute to Michael Jackson better late than never. Sometimes you don’t know what you got till it’s gone. With Michael Jackson, and all the gossip and larger than life stories surrounding him, you sometimes almost forgot the wonderfull music and innovation in showmanship he was responsible for. From the youthful energy with the Jackson 5 to the iconic Thriller album and beyond, his music will be in our collective memory forever.

When DJ Spinna did a tribute to Michael Jackson last week in Santos (New York), everyone was singing with basicly every song played. And dancing too. In front of the Apollo Theater in Harlem I saw both 8-year-old kids as older ladies wearing Michael Jackson T-shirts and waving with his records. The unifying and iconic power that Michael had is hard to find these days, but I’m sure many new artists will take inspiration from his legacy. There’s not much to add to what already has been said. So we simply say, Michael, rest in peace.

One of the most moving tributes I saw these days was by Stevie Wonder, during the memorial in Los Angeles. Watch it again:

    THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES, period..

    Stevie Wonder’s tribute was soul-shattering. Can’t stop weeping

    In retrospect I admire Cilvaringz’ song ‘Forever Michael’ even more. He was one of dem hardcore MC’s who acknowledged Michael’s genius while he lived..

    Miss you Michael, you’re the best that ever did it..
