"I just can't stop loving you" released in 1987 was peformed and composed by Michael Jackson featuring a duet with Siedah Garrett. It was originally intended to be a duet with Michael and the woman of his choice , either Barbara Streisand or Whitney Houston but they had other obligations. Michael stated the song wasn't written with anyone in mind but he was thinking of someone when singing it live. Labelled as the King of Pop , Michael Jackson was a jack of all trades in the entertainment area and was recorded in the Guiness Book of Records as the most successful entertainer of all time. Sadly he died from Cardiac Arrest on the 25 June 2009 creating world wide grief as people and fans around the world watched his memorial service live on TV.
I've never been a big Michael Jackson fan, but I do recognise an incredible entertainer, singer, songwriter and dancer when I see one. My friend's sister used to have a sticker up in her room saying "I love Michael Jackson". This was back around 88, she also had his posters all over her magnificent bedroom( I really thought she had the best bedroom a teenager could ever have). Although she adored Michael at that time, the phase blew over for her when a year later the same sticker appeared and read as "I loved Michael Jackson" where she had crossed out "I love". Not an entirely forever, loyal fan but a fan for a period of time nonetheless. It goes to show that I'm sure most of the world population must have had a "Michael Jackson" phase in their life. The man deserves credibility as an entertainer, he is a great, great performer despite the hundreds of transformations he underwent and despite the allegations made. Although I never had any of his albums, my phase was loving just one Michael Jackson song. I thought ( and still think ) his best song was "I just can't stop loving you".
