I just had to answer this question because I was so shocked and saddened when I heard that he had died. I was never a huge fan of his but nobody can deny his talent and the life that seemed to radiate from him wherever he went. When I think of Michael Jackson I go back to being a little girl and sittng in a theatre on a summer day having just seen "Free Willy" for the first time. I loved the movie and Michael's "Will You be There" was the perfect song to complement the movie that had deeply touched my nine year old heart. For that reason that will always be my favorite song by Mr. Jackson. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who knew and loved him. He was an extraordinary person and must be a hard man to lose. My he find in death the peace that seemed to elude him in life. RIP Michael.<br />
