Part 8/10:
Despite the turmoil and controversy surrounding his life, Michael Jackson's musical legacy continues to resonate profoundly across cultures and generations. His ability to transcend race and genre through his contribution to music, dance, and fashion has left an indelible mark on the industry. With hits like "Black or White," "Smooth Criminal," and "Earth Song," Jackson not only entertained but also highlighted social issues through his work.
After his death, tribute concerts and memorials reaffirmed his status as a global icon. A 2009 documentary, “This Is It,” documented his final rehearsals for a comeback tour that never materialized due to his tragic passing.
