Micheal Jackson
Michael Jackson was a pop music icon, widely considered to be one of the greatest performers of all time. Born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, Michael Jackson began his music career at a young age as a member of the Jackson 5, a group made up of himself and his four older brothers. The group quickly became a sensation in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with a string of hit singles including "ABC," "I Want You Back," and "Never Can Say Goodbye." As a solo artist, Michael Jackson achieved even greater success. He released his debut album, "Off the Wall," in 1979, which featured hit songs like "Rock With You" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." The album was a commercial and critical success, and helped establish Jackson as a major force in pop music. However, it was his 1982 album "Thriller" that truly made Michael Jackson a global superstar. The album remains the best-selling album of all time, with over 66 million copies sold worldwide. The album spawned a number of hit singles, including "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller," which was accompanied by a now-iconic music video. The music video, which featured Jackson as a zombie and included intricate choreography and special effects, revolutionized the music video genre and is still widely regarded as one of the greatest music videos ever made.

Classic Song Review: Learning to Listen to 'Voices Carry'
Aimee Man is a brilliant songwriter and clearly always has been. My thesis statement for that admittedly not very bold claim is the 1984 song, Voices Carry, performed by Aimee's then band Til Tuesday. In many ways, this is a classic pop song. It has the structure and the strengths of a great pop song. You can, as I did for so many years, passively enjoy Voices Carry as a classic example of 80's pop music. Listening to it today however, and with the context of the incredibly simple but effective music video, you find layers and layers of relationship lore and a narrative of casual abuse that is carefully and brilliantly layered into this four minute pop song.

Is Walking 500 Miles (And Then 500 Miles More) Really Romantic?. Top Story - February 2023.
I love The Proclaimers. Really, I do. Craig and Charlie Reid. They are Scottish. They are twins. They are fantastic singers, write beautiful pop songs, often with very pointed socio-political lyrics and have at least one bonafide end-of-party singalong anthem in "I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)".
