The original King.

As a designer and video fanatic, Michael J was THE pioneer of music videos. He KILLED the radio star, who ironically, was probably him at the time. He started the trend of music videos with a plot, with a budget and artiste. I can only celebrate his life by posting one of my favorite videos of his that defined the genre, a decade before it became obsolete, to be replaced exclusively by viral/digital videos. Pop owes him big time. After all, Pop let people like Katy Perry come to life. What an ungrateful bitch you are.

Great video! This one is one of my all time favorite ones as well. Truly it is a great tragedy. Too bad he couldn't have done more with his sister or the rest of the family.

I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Sometimes, the best way to remember someone is to celebrate their memories. RIP.
