第一章 Jackson Dies, But The Beat Goes on
傑克遜——是非一生，餘響永存
While his elaborate, stop-on-a-dime dance moves and sensual soprano may have influenced generations of musicians, Michael Jackson stood for much more than pop greatness—or tabloid weirdness.
He influenced artists ranging from Justin Timberlake to Madonna, from rock to pop to R&B even to rap, across genres and groups that no other artist was able to unite.
Jackson entered the public consciousness as an impossibly cute, preteen wonder in 1969, an unbelievably precocious singer in his family band, The Jackson 5. Even then, his dance moves, borrowed from the likes of James Brown and Jackie Wilson, were exquisite, and his onstage presence outshone seasoned veterans.
