Thousands mourned at the iconic funerals of Princess Diana
Wall-to-wall coverage at major U.S. television networks, begins right now (1 PM EST / -4 GMT)
I remember the Jackson 5 as a kid, the smash LP “Thriller” from 1983, most of his well-publicized career turns and travails, and of course “We Are the World” and Live Aid from 1985 (IMO, MJ’s finest hour).
Yet as a contemporary to his life and career, I’ve still been shocked at the worldwide outpouring since his death. Of all living icons of Western pop-culture, perhaps only Paul McCartney would equal this much reaction to passing on. (Long live the Walrus…)
Some readers may not remember Live Aid. If not see this link!
