MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL

MICHAEL JACKSON: AUGUST 29, 1958 TO JUNE 25, 2009

The larger-than-life Michael Jackson had a memorial service unlike anything done before and the like of which will never be repeated again. He was a beautiful soul and a magical personality and it was a very classy memorial service indeed at Los Angeles' famed Staples Center!

The words of his friends were profound and meaningful (and all of around the world got a glimpse of what he was like in life) and the performances by artistes who paid tribute to him were powerful.
