Michael Jackson: A Video Tribute [photo: cdn.pitchfork.com]
With the heartbreaking news of Michael Jackson's death, it's as good a time as any to look back on his career. His music is known by all, but Michael Jackson's impact on television was enormous.
The "Thriller" video revolutionized music videos and helped put MTV on the map. Michael Jackson aided in African-American artists' ability to become mainstream--especially in music videos.
Videos such as "Black or White" and "Remember the Time" ushered in a degree of visual effects that no one had seen before.
Michael Jackson's iconic moonwalk in 1983 was must-see television, and his appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the 70's (as part of "The Jackson 5") forced families to gather around the television.
Here are a few videos for any Michael Jackson fan that has a desire to venture down memory lane.

I seen Michaels last act at the world music awards and was hopeing he would have that chance to face his horrible fear of how many people looked at him after all the court I believe he was a good, kind hearted man who was taken advantage of by the world of selfishness, fam and fear. What a sad story. I hope one day the truth is found. But till today I think a weird, different man was taken advantage due to his kind heart and his fame and wealth. I pray your soul has piece and your beauty stretches on. :)xxxxx
