And lovely comments too! How strange -- I have just come from listening to a pretty chopped up audio tribute from Quincy Jones that used bits of The Way You Make Me Feel (it's called "He stays out of the box" if your interested) and that is the title of this post! I'm pretty sure we all connected to each other through his musical gift. Shame the only tribute the TV networks could offer was clips from Thriller - not the way we want to remember Michael! Although the dancing is good, I mean the fact that he is dressed like a corpse. Could be more sensitive next time you pay tribute! Nice to see the blog-o-sphere filling up with respectful thoughts for the man. Candi Lovely post! And lovely comments too!

TLC and the Spice Girls did the same thing for me and my cousins. Otherwise, growing up, every time Thriller came on TV I dropped whatever I was doing and watched dancing zombies. It's still my all-time favorite video. It really is a shame that someone so talented was also so royally messed up. But aren't they all?

I truly remember it being one of the first ever times I squeed with excitement. He's who made me want to become a dancer. My dad bought me the VHS tape of “Smooth Criminal” when I was about 8.

The Thriller album and video are certainly the best of the best. They hold a special place in many childhood memories. We are lucky to have grown up in that time. Well said.
