Michael Jackson passed away on 25th June 2009 at the age of 50. At Welling School today, many of us celebrated his life by listening to his music and watching his dancing on YouTube videos. Students from the Dance department remembered their trip last term to see 'Thriller', the musical dedicated to him, in the West End. In Music, we remixed 'Blame it on the Boogie' and compared the original of 'Man in the Mirror' with a Hed Kandi remixed version.
Since the Jackson 5 signed to Motown Records in 1968 with Michael as its youngest member at 11, Michael has spent a life in the spotlight for his amazing talent, and often his more controversial lifestyle. His 1982 album 'Thriller' is the bestselling album of all time, cementing his position as the King of Pop.
Here are several links, where you can learn about the life of this extraordinary man, listen to his music and watch him dance.
