Big +1 on that.

They have been promoting this "Michael Jackson extravaganza" that is taking place in London. The poor man has only just died and they are cashing in on his name. Sad.

It really saddens me that we have lost so many of our great soul singers. When you grow up listening to their songs you think that they will live forever. I suppose with the great music they've left behind they have in a way.

I know it sounds corny, but at least they live on through their music.

you're right, it is corny but also very true.

I wonder which great soul artist we will lose next?

I watched "This Is It" for the first time last night. It was amazing and also extremely sad to see footage taken just 12 hours before his death.

I think that's what makes it so hard to watch, for me anyway. Knowing that in 12 short hours he would be dead. It's not like when someone dies of cancer, you know in advance. But this was so sudden.

Those concerts would have been mind blowing had they happened. He most certainly would have been "back" with those gigs.
