There are many questions that will be asked and answered through the coming days, weeks, months and years. What was the state of Jackson’s financial affairs when he passed? Did he have a will and what will happen to his estate? Who will get custody of his children, especially “Blanket,” whose mother’s identity has never been revealed? Were prescription drugs related to his death?
Will these questions shape his legacy? Will the scandals that followed him in his later year color how the world remembers him? Whether you believe the allegations of child abuse, whether you endorse some of the strange and erratic behavior, and whether you take issue with his physical transformation over the years, the one thing most agree on is that Michael’s legacy will be in his artistry. As one of the greatest record sellers of all time, a man who created his own style of dance and inspired millions to emulate it, and an artist whose songs touched hundreds of millions around the world, he is literally in a class by himself.
We at WBLS have been blessed by his extraordinary talent for our 35 years in broadcasting. He will be sorely missed.
