On this day, June 25, we honor the incredible legacy of Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop,” who passed away exactly 17 years ago today in 2009. His historic career was defined by record-shattering, timeless hits like “Thriller,” “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and “Bad,” which permanently revolutionized the global music and music video industries. Beyond his unparalleled artistry and iconic dance innovations like the moonwalk, Jackson was also a historic philanthropist, earning a spot in the Guinness World Records for supporting 39 different charities and using his platform to promote global unity through anthems like “We Are the World” and “Heal the World.” #mj #michaeljackson #kingofpop #90smusic #prince
