Remembering Michael Jackson's "Earth Song"

While recently deceased pop star Michael Jackson may be best remembered for hits like "Thriller," "Billie Jean," and "Beat It," we'd like to call attention to Jackson's 1995 environmentally themed tune, "Earth Song." From the album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, "Earth Song" was the singer's top-selling single in the United Kingdom and a top-five hit in many European countries (the song wasn't released as a single in the United States). The video, below, was one of the most expensive ever made.

Why do you care about Michael Jackson now when he is not here? Michael Jackson was born in USA and the whole world knew who he was, except Americans, isn't that sad?

[Alicia]

Yes, it is sad that we have to wait till he is gone to notice what he has done for the world and for so many different causes. He was truly a caring and generous man, but so many people didn't know it, and the media in America still refuses to report on it. It's true, other countries seem to appreciate him more than the US. Well, I appreciate him, and miss him so much. Thank you Michael, for all you have done, all your hard work.....you worked so hard.

P Diddy had very precisely described the genius of Michael Jackson: "He showed that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life. He made me believe in magic."
