Dom beat me to the punch on putting together a reggae-flavored MJ retrospective. Even still, I wanted to have my say and add a little more to the conversation.

When a person who’s accomplished as much as Michael Jackson dies, it’s hard for me to really feel sad, only because the legacy that they’ve left behind, in this case MIchael’s music, keeps them alive forever. I felt this way when Isaac Hayes passed, when Ray Charles left us, and, again, I do now.

That said, the influence he had on the world of music was beyond monumental. Who would think that a guy from Gary, Indiana would influence music being made in Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean? But so was the case with Michael Joseph Jackson. Celebrate the life of a giant with the reggae-flavored covers and interpolations of his music below…
