THRILLER simply saved the music industry and changed popular music forever! Artists such as Leonard Bernstein became huge fans and admirers of Michael’s artistry. Many classical musicians and performers did likewise….
I still marvel at Michael’s creativity and imagination! He was just beyond the beyond! I have never seen or heard another artist like him, and I doubt I ever will. I miss him, pure and simple. Bless him….
