As always with any of his songs I was moved. The thought that we will never be able to hear any more new hits is saddening. But the song was very good.
THANK YOU!
NOW, can everybody please shut the hell up and accept that no matter what--- we, the fans will always keep him at the top where he belongs!
BTW, I love the song! :)
Miss Michael everyday....
