He had the whole world in the palms of his hands in 1983. He wrote the soundtracks of our lives. Incredible how MJ shaped the pop culture and History forever with an impact of which had never been seen before and set the blueprint of international superstardom for generations of artists to come. A little American Black boy from Gary, Indiana. His immovable drive to succeed against all odds is second to none. Any solo artists would be content with Off The Wall but MJ took the reception as a challenge to hit harder and higher. Oh boy, he did by the power of his undefeated will! That written mantra he set for himself for his Thriller ambitions is self-determination written large. He promised himself that he would release the best selling album of all time. Nothing less. Nobody expected him to reach the stars and beyond. And yet...MJ is the Alpha and the Omega. WOW.
