Tito Jackson was such an underrated guitar player that we often did not get to hear on Jackson Five records until the mid 70's when he was allowed to play.
In addition to scoring songs like ABC, I Want You Back, he could play literally anything.
Know your HIStory: Michael played in West Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall. People lined up behind the wall, and the speakers were turned that way so EVERYONE could hear the concert. Let's not get history twisted.
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee sadly passed away at the age of 74. She will forever be remembered for her tireless dedication to helping others, her outspoken advocacy for black Americans and the gay community. I especially will remember her for her unwavering support for Michael Jackson in life and death. In remembrance of #sheilajacksonlee let's listen to her touching eulogy at Michael's memorial and her salute him.
R.I.P. Mrs. Jackson Lee 🕊

#15YearsWithoutMichaelJackson
On June 25, 2009, the world lost the one and only undisputed King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Fifteen years later, his absence still reverberates profoundly within me and millions of others around the globe. Michael Jackson was more than a pop star; he was a revolutionary artist whose influence indelibly shaped my understanding of what it means to be a true global phenomenon while being black.
Michael Jackson was the first black global megastar, and he illustrated that blackness could transcend geographical and cultural boundaries. He unveiled a world beyond the United States in a way that history lessons never could for me. His music and dance shattered the confines of nationality and race, touching hearts and minds worldwide. For me, Jackson's success epitomized the boundless potential of black talent. He was a beacon of hope, demonstrating that our identity and culture could be embraced and celebrated on an unparalleled global scale.
As one of the most significant black luminaries of all time, Michael Jackson's impact extended far beyond entertainment. He demolished countless barriers, setting new standards and opening doors for future generations of black artists. His influence was not just in his music but also in his commanding presence and the humanitarian causes he fervently championed. Michael Jackson inspired me and countless others to dream grander and believe in the power of unity. He taught me that the impossible could be possible, even for people like me.
Reflecting on Michael Jackson's legacy, I am reminded of the profound ways he touched my life. His innovative music videos, genre-defying songs, and electrifying performances were more than mere entertainment—they were cultural milestones. Songs and videos like "Thriller," "Billie Jean," "Smooth Criminal," and "Black or White" were not just hits; they were anthems that united people and bridged divides.
As I commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of Michael Jackson's passing, I honor not only his extraordinary talent but also the enduring message of unity and love he spread. His life and career stand as a testament to the power of art to connect people from all walks of life. In remembering Michael Jackson, I feel the weight of his absence, but I also celebrate the lasting light he brought into the world. His legacy endures, reminding me of the profound impact one individual can have on the world and inspiring me to continue believing in the possibilities he so vividly illustrated.

Dear Michael…these past 15 years already gone by, though you’ve been gone all this time, “you’re still here”! Through the power of your songs in voice! Through the visuals of your dance in videos, in movies and films. And in the heartfelt memories, in the hearts, minds and spirits of your billions of fans, all over the world! Thus, you still live! And will never die! Thus, therefore you are truly immortal! And can nor will never age! In all the minds and memories of all of us, who’ve come to see you, hear you, feel you, spiritually, and especially to those of us who came to know you personally. Your absence has been felt heavily….the void, hole and vacuum of our souls left in the music industry has been like a black hole in space…leaving darkness where your much anticipated light once shined - once illuminating the pathway to go forward, where every artist once awaited in great anticipation to know where and how to follow, leaving all to wonder in the field of the industry, searching for where you would have gone with your music, creatively. You are sorely missed, Michael. Though you are there….you are STILL HERE!!! And we love and miss you, dearly. May you continue to Heavenly rest….in peace!
Your drummer, your “Foot”,
