King of Pop R.I.P.

Everyone has heard by now that Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50.  I guess I have always had some type of bond with the Jacksons since we all were born in Gary, IN.  Many people fondly remember him as the little 11 year old boy and not the creature he evolved to later in life.  During the 80's Michael Jackson was truly the King.  He released 'Thriller' and then followed it up with 'Bad', but never released anything worthwhile after that unless you are a fan of 'Ebony and Ivory'.
Who can forget the infamous moonwalk:

Here is the young Michael:
