He was pretty much the first person whose music videos I ever got to watch, my first ever concert (which I spent getting mildly irritated at the opening acts), and that (twelve years? fifteen years?) old tape of Bad sitting in my cabinet of junk is most definitely going to get an airing today. And a listen, if it’s up for that too.
Michael Jackson- Beat It
Easily, IMO, his best song ever.

And now for a bit of gangster (never gangsta…it makes all the difference)
Michael Jackson- Smooth Criminal
Yup. He was an original. It was sad that people started making jokes about him as soon as they found out he was dead. Natural, I suppose.
You went for a concert of his? Where?
Bombay, 1996. Though it hardly counts- I had to go with my parents so it wasn’t much fun.
His best music was easily his early(ier) stuff, most of what he did in the 90s was pretty lacklustre in comparison.
