Every icon has their own brand, their own signature—an innovative dance move, a special wardrobe piece—that separates them from other artists, which makes their fans REMEMBER them. Whether it was his ever-so-piercing “Hee” croon in the background of his tracks, or the blatant snatching of his crotch and pelvis thrust combination—you remembered this talented and truly brilliant entertainer for something. Michael Jackson had many trademarks, like his smooth impersonation of the moonwalk, his infamous sparkly glove, and his awfully chic high-water pants, just to name a few more.
There is no doubt in my mind that Michael Jackson will always be remembered, but will he ever be known? I know what you’re thinking: Of course, he’ll be known! He was a celebrity. The world knew Michael Jackson, the KING of pop. In the eighties we were introduced to Michael Jackson, the child star turned super star. By the twentieth century, America, as well as the rest of the world, had gotten very well acquainted with Michael Jackson, the legend and humble humanitarian. We’ve even been tempted (by the harsh, money-hungry media) to meet “Wacko Jacko”, the pedophile/child molester/rapist. However, after over four decades of Michael residing as the universe’s most famous man, we have yet to know Michael Jackson, the person.
