Michael's Music Legacy

Give in to Me

Richard — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:08:10 +0000

The song "Give In to Me" is the tenth track on Michael Jackson's 1991 studio album Dangerous. An interesting fact for the MJ trivia types is that members of Guns N' Roses were involved. Slash, Gilby Clarke, and Teddy Andreadis were all in the video.

Two other bits of trivia are that the single was never released in North America or Asia, and the pyrotechnics in the video are computer generated.

She always takes it with a heart of stone
Cuz all she does is throws it back to me
I've spent a lifetime looking for someone

Don't try to understand me
Just simply do the things I say

Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
Quench my desire
Cuz I'm on fire

Give it when I want it
Talk to me woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you questions why
It seems you get your kicks from hurting me

Don't try to understand me
Because your words just aren't enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin me higher

Love is a woman
I don't want to hear it
Give in to me
Give in to me

You and your friends are laughing at me now
But it's
Okay
Yes it's
Okay

You won't be laughing girl when I'm not around
I'll be
Okay
And I
I'd never find
Gotta
Some peace of mind
Oh

Don't try to tell me
Because your words just aren't enough

Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin me higher

Talk to me woman
Love is a feelin
Give in to me
Give in to me

Oh
Love is a feeling
I don't wanna hear it
Quench my desire
Takin me higher
Tell it to the preacher
Satisfy the feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me

I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna hear it
Give in to the fire
Talk to me woman
Quench my desire
Act like a lady
Talk to me baby

Give in to me
Give in to the fire
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Love is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Cuz I'm on fire
Talk to me woman
Quench my desire
Give in to the feeling

Propofol

Richard — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:48:07 +0000

There is a word that will be added to our vocabularies. Propofol. It is a surgical anesthetic, and an autopsy report suggests that in combination with three other sedatives, it probably stopped Michael's breathing and killed him.

The report is not official (it was leaked somehow) but it sounds very plausible to this writer. We can now start to understand why this has become a homicide investigation, rather than a more simple death.

The autopsy report went on to say that although Michael has some issues, he was in reasonably good health. Now fans everywhere will mourn even the more, as it is quite probable that Michael Jackson could have continued to entertain us for years to come. It would seem that his personal doctor's negligence may have robbed Michael from us early.

This Is It trailer

Fans are finally getting a look at the trailer for "This Is It", which features footage from Michael's final days.

The film is a behind-the-scenes look at the rehearsals that Jackson did for his London comeback shows. Take a look at the clip and see if you agree or disagree with reports that he was emaciated and suffering from exhaustion in the weeks before his death.

The film will have a limited two-week release from October 28. NOTE THAT again. Only 2 weeks!!!

See the trailer here.

Gary, Indiana

Richard — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 13:44:56 +0000

Gary, Indiana, is an industrial city close to Chicago. It is also where Michael Jackson was born and raised. He spent the first 11 years of his life there

Recently, members of the singer’s family watched as local performers staged a medley of his greatest hits, and youngsters mimicked his famous “moonwalk”.

One of the most famous people in this special event was Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, who told 6,000 devotees "This is the origin of it all". Jesse went on to say that this is where Michael first learned to dance and sing.

Mayor Rudy Clay later unveiled a 7 foot memorial to Gary's famous son.

Michael Jackson Honoured by Stevie Wonder

Richard — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:47:29 +0000

Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson both started their careers in Motown. In fact, they knew each other in the early 1970s. Michael used to ask Stevie lots of questions, and they played air hockey against each other.

Jackson's life ended up fading into weirdness and scandals, while Wonder continues to add to his legendary status. Stevie was in Montreal, Canada, this week for that city's Jazz Festival.

During a news conference, Stevie performed a version of his 1984 hit, I Just Called to Say I Love You, complete with some new lyrics for Michael.

Advice for Michael's fans? Wonder urged them to ignore all the negative, and concentrate on the music that MJ left us all.

As news of Jackson's death dominated TV, Mr. Wonder was inspired to write lyrics to a new song called In the Arms of God. That one is for Michael.

Michael Jackson is Gone

Richard — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:29:37 +0000

Michael Jackson - Gone But Never Forgotten

Michael Jackson, talented but also controversial, will never be forgotten. He will live on in his music and his videos.

And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

On Thursday, June 25, 2009 Michael Jackson passed from this life to the next. He had been rehearsing for his 50 concert tour, already sold out, when a suspected heart attack claimed him. What did he leave behind?

In legal and financial terms - a mess.

In music and video - a legacy. Like his monster hit, Thriller, the video version of which is shown below from YouTube.

The reactions to his performances over the years were spectacular. Just consider the ticket sales on his announced 50 show tour. After all these years, and after all the controversy, Michael Jackson could still bring them in.

The Examiner | The New York Times | Variety | LA Times

Michael Jackson married rock, pop, R & B, and dance music in order to smash radio formats and racial barriers in the media. He influenced many artists, including his sister Janet, as well as Whitney Houston, Weird Al Yankovic, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Black-Eyed Peas, and Chris Brown.

Michael was one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He received 13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles, and the sale of 750 million albums worldwide.

He also raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundations.

Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana to a working-class family on August 29, 1958. He was the 7th of 9 siblings, the other 8 being Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy, and Janet.

Michael Jackson - King Of Pop

Michael got his musical start in a group formed of himself and 4 of his brothers. A musical prodigy, his singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of "The Jackson 5."

Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 80s he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, "Thriller" in 1982.
