Yesterday, the date of Michael Jackson’s death four years ago,  I asked people to tweet me some of their thoughts  and remembrances.  I received some really amazing tweets, with a sampling of them listed below. Michael Jackson changed music forever, and regardless of the controversy surrounding him in his later years, he made a hugely positive impact on music and culture.

Michael Jackson was very talented..I still see his moves and style in today’s artist..entertainer and teacher.. #RIP..Urmissed
