Michael Jackson did not change the way we listen to music. He made good music that entertained us all. There was no breakthrough at all. The real breakthrough for the music industry goes to Sony with the invention of the walkman... that changed the way we listened to music.
Michael Jackson was a good performer, and a good music artist, but beyond that people try to over glorify his life. The crazy bastard went insane and fuked up his face and slept with random children in his bed. He did not bring the black community together at all. By what some people say, not on this forum, just because white guys listen to Lil Wayne he must be be bridging the white and black community.
Sharptons speech was also just plain ridiculous. Now that is what I would call an over glorification there. I think he claimed that Michael Jackson made people comfortable for voting for Obama... wtf?
