RIP Michael Jackson, 1958-2009

By ArtieFufkin

By now we’ve all heard the news.  Michael Jackson – the King of Pop – passed away yesterday after suffering a cardiac arrest.

For all the tabloid drama and freaky behavior in the latter part of his life, Jackson will always be remembered as one of the greatest performers ever to grace the stage; up there with only Elvis and the Beatles as the few musicians who transcended entertainment, and impacted the world at large. Off The Wall and Thriller are two of the most perfect albums of all time.  If you haven’t already, spend some time listening to them today, and honoring MJ’s musical legacy.

In an effort to keep this post NFL-related, we give you Jackson’s 1993 halftime performance from SB XXVII:

After the jump, more classic MJ videos:

“Billie Jean” – Mowtown 25 (1983)

“Don’t Stop ‘Till You Get Enough”, Off The Wall
