A musical genius.

 

[bonzobanana]

I'd heard the name many a time but didn't know much about him. Generally not my sort of music I think. He accomplished a lot though and lived to a ripe old age and you have to respect him for that.

 

[Mike_P]

A musical genius.

Agree. The sad news did get me confused as I only heard the end of news bulletin this morning "Michael Jackson has died aged 91"

Also gave some of the biggest names in pop and jazz their start as an A&R man, bandleader for Sinatra, producer of M Jackson's albums. Hugely influential, and an amazing career.
