It is hard to forget the tragic summer day that marked the death of the “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson. From his pro-longed burial, his immensely populated funeral, and the jaw dropping truth on how he really died, it is easy to forget why he became King in the first place.

America shut him out with accusation after accusation, abandoning the one man that changed music as we know it. That is until his demise.

With his death, rose his fame. The Soundtrack to his new movie, claimed top spot on U.S. pop albums chart with the fifth best sales week this year. “This Is It” sold 373,000 copies this past week, exceeding expectations of 350,000, and grossed $104 million during its first release weekend.

“This Is It”, Michael Jackson’s film of his final days, compiles various rehearsal footage for a planned concert marking his return at a London arena. The movie takes viewers behind-the-scenes to see the mastermind behind such classic pop hits as “Thriller” and “Billie Jean”, prepare for the concert that would crown his entire career.

As die-hard fans race to capture every last bit of Michael that they can, the rest of the world is forced to accept and acknowledge what this magical man did. Many say that the film gave new light into who he was, creating a whole new appreciation.

It is certain that the allegations that pushed the beloved star into the dark, will forever be overshadowed by the remembrance and beauty of his music, his dance and his life.
