Right now, where the music charts are concerned, there is no room for anyone but the late, great Michael Jackson.
According to Billboard, this week the 'King of Pop's' catalog of solo album sales reached 800,000 copies. Last week ,he amassed 422,-000 albums sold. Jackson's 'Number Ones' is currently the top-selling album in the United States.
There's a flood of Jackson memorabilia being sold right now, and it's no better time for a classic American magazine to honor the life's work of perhaps one of the greatest entertainers to ever live.
Time magazine used a still image taken from his 1992 Herb Ritts-directed video 'Keep It In the Closet,' which featured supermodel Naomi Campbell as the leading lady, as the cover of the special commemorative issue.

There have been some very unflattering pictures of Jackson, but the cover photo they picked is actually quite...well...beautiful.
I'm glad to see that Jackson the Artist is finding a whole new generation of fans. I hope that there will now be some SANE discussion of the problems this damaged man lived through, instead of the lies and innuendo and the tabloid rumors and misleading headlines that were used to sell papers and magazines.
Now that he's gone, let's do the right thing and deal with some FACTS for a change.

What Micheal Jackson accomplished in his 50 years allows us to realize that there is a God. No one could be born that talented without God interceding. He is truly and without question the greatest entertainer/musician that will ever have walked upon this earth. He was born with an old soul to begin with and when God called claim upon his soul,we could say he was close to 90 years. Michael Jackson will go down in history for the gifts from heaven that he bestowed upon us and will never be forgotten until the end of time. Godspeed!

"Keep It In The Closet" was my favorite Videos because of Naomi Campbell. I really think that together they made it really rock. When I was during fashion shows, like Michael, does with his songs, make them come to life, I would do my shows with songs from him and other artist and thanks to Michael, they would be one of a kind and not the usual boring BS. Nobody of this planet can do it like the one and only Michael Jackson did!
