deco: THE KING OF POP

We wanted to dedicate our blog today to the memory of Michael Jackson, and what better day to do so than the anniversary of his sudden tragic death.

Born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana. One of ten children he rose to fame at the age of six when he was catapulted to the centre of attention with the Jackson 5. In 1975 Michael broke loose from the rest of his brothers and went solo. Releasing all time favourite albums such as 'Off The Wall', 'Thriller' and 'Bad', Michael soon became a worldwide phenomenon. "The King of Pop" reigned.

Michael Jackson lead a very troubled personal life and while we may not agree with how he may have lived his life there is no denying his genius. He could entertain like no other with dance moves such as 'the moonwalk' he set the bar for generations to come - and to think he was predominantly self taught! His personal style was to us is, and always will be a constant source of inspiration, not to mention the hours we spend listening to his creations. A tragic loss to the world, Michael Jackson may your soul rest in peace.
