For some (Don McLean, for example), the Day the Music Died was when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson were killed in a plane crash on February 3, 1959. But for many of us the Day the Music Died was much more recently. For many of us, the Day the Music Died was June 25, 2009 -- the day that Michael Jackson died.
In celebration of African American Music Appreciation Month and in remembrance of the best selling African American Music artist of all-time, I offer the following three videos. The first was the one which electrified the television viewing audience in 1983 with a dance routine which seemed to defy physics
the second is a live performance from some 30 years ago that shows Michael at his peak
and the last is a montage of Michael performing the song that may be his most lasting message song
Enjoy, Remember, and Reflect.
Peace,
Everett "Skip" Jenkins
