But my head hurts this morning... House parties excluded, I don't think there's been one night out where I haven't heard MJ at some point tbh. He's a very popular choice for bars, clubs and the like it seems. Even heard You Rock My World a few weeks ago and that got tipsy me pretty excited

The Jacksons pop up at the weirdest places.
Today is the 40th anniversary of the Jonestown tragedy. I have been watching a couple of documentaries on it today and also this raw footage that shows the day before and the day of the tragedy. And at 32:36 I suddenly hear "Keep on Dancing" by The Jacksons.
My heart breaks for these poor souls. They didn't know that within hours they would be dead. All because of a manipulative maniac.

Aww, my heart! 😍 This is absolutely beautiful and heartwarming even though it's the most positive sad song ever!❤️
Michael even sang the lines, "smile and maybe tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through for you" originally performed by Nat King Cole. My money for all the albums with alternative takes but Thriller, HIStory and Dangerous have a special place in my heart.

If I had one career-related wish, it would've been for him to have done either a live performance or the planned music video for Smile. Just the single cover alone is amazing. You just know it would've been something really special. What a damn shame it never materialised.

You just know it would've been something really special. What a damn shame it never materialised. I know Sony cancelled Smile as the last single but I never understood why the One Night Only show wasn't re-scheduled. Simply watching Smile and Childhood with Marcel Marceau performed live would have been quite epic.

'Thriller' was made because Michael Jackson wanted to be a monster mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1BF2GY?__twitter_impression=trueVENICE (Reuters) - Music video "Thriller" was not the product of a brilliant idea but was made because pop star Michael Jackson wanted to be a monster, director John Landis said at the Venice film festival on Monday. Landis was in Venice to present the 3D version of the video, which was made 35 years after the original. It was screened as a special event in the out-of-competition section. "(Thriller) was nobody’s good idea, it was no brilliant business plan," John Landis told journalists. "It was a vanity video because Michael wanted to be a monster. And everything that came, evolved from that, was spectacularly successful and I was totally surprised." Landis said Jackson first approached him about making the video because he liked his work on "An American Werewolf in London" and the two, along with make-up artist Rick Baker, met to look at photographs from old monster movies. "Turns out he hasn’t seen many horror films, they were too scary. I found him great," Landis said, laughing. "He wanted zombies, but the big thing for Mike was turning into a monster." Asked about his first meeting with Jackson, the child star turned King of Pop who set the world dancing but died in 2009 at the age of 50, Landis said he was "joyful" and "childlike" and quickly became a close family friend. "Michael was very determined that everything had to be the best, the greatest," he said. "He had a spectacular work ethic, but he was an old pro, the guy has been performing since he was 8 years old." While making "Thriller" Jackson was happy to "show up and do whatever I wanted," Landis said. It was different when they met again to produce "Black or White" in 1991. "On 'Black or White' I was working for Michael. It was different. We were still fine, but ... he was much more guarded," Landis said. "On 'Black or White' I was working for Michael. It was different.
