Un poco de Michael Jackson

Fue reconocido durante su carrera con el apodo del «Rey del Pop», siendo la superestrella de la música pop más exitosa a nivel mundial, sin embargo también su música incluyó una amplia acepción de subgéneros como el rhythm & blues (soul y funk), disco y dance. También durante su vida sirvió de influencia musical para decenas de artistas. Michael Jackson a lo largo de su trayectoria ha cosechado múltiples premios, ha sido incluido dos veces en el Salón de la Fama del Rock, ha batido múltiples récords en el Guinness World Records y ha recibido veintiséis American Music Awards y quincepremios Grammy en diversas categorías musicales, de los cuales dos son póstumos. Posee el récord del artista más galardonado de la historia de la música, con más de 400 premios. Además, ha sido reconocido por sus actos de filantropía, ostentando el récord al artista que más dinero ha donado a obras benéficas, con cientos de millones de dólares donados a 39 instituciones de este tipo.El 5 de marzo de 2009, en un auditorio en Londres, ante 20.000 espectadores, Michael Jackson anunció su regreso a los escenarios con la gira This Is It. Inicialmente, contaría con diez conciertos a celebrarse en dicha ciudad en el O₂ Arena en el mes de julio. Según lo que el mismo dijo, estos conciertos serían los últimos que daría en la capital inglesa. En ellos, según el promotor de la gira Randy Philips, el artista interpretaría canciones inéditas, ya que él había compuesto y grabado nuevas canciones, tal como se afirmó tras su muerte. La expectativa aumentó la demanda del público, por lo que se agregaron cuarenta presentaciones más de las establecidas en un comienzo.

En la mañana del 25 de junio de 2009, el artista sufrió un paro cardiorrespiratorio en su mansión alquilada de Holmby Hills. Los miembros del servicio llamaron al teléfono de emergencia 911 para solicitar auxilio a las 12:21 PDT(UTC-7). Los paramédicos, quienes llegaron nueve minutos después, lo encontraron sin pulso nirespiración, por lo que le aplicaron reanimación cardiopulmonar y lo trasladaron al Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, ubicado en Los Ángeles a la 1:14 pm. Pero a pesar de los esfuerzos de los médicos fue declarado muerto a las 2:26 pm


LETRA...

What about sunrise
What about rainWhat about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying Earth this we make sure?

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth this we make sure?

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
