Michael Jackson

The above is the March 19th 1984 front cover of Time magazine, two years after Thriller, theĀ  world’s best selling album was launched. Today, the King of Pop is no more. He performed from a young age with his family, in the late 1950s, and still going on strong in the late 1990s. The generation that grew up to his music in the 70s up to the 90s would surely remember his songs and dance moves. Thriller, Billy Jean, Off the Wall, Man in the Mirror, Beat It, Black or White, We Are The World and so many more songs. I remember watching the Grammy awards in the 80s when MJ won awards for Best Album, Best Song etc.

Michael Jackson’s writeup in Wikipedia provides details on the one of the most iconic figures in world music.

Farrah Fawcett, more famously known as one of the Charlie’s Angels also passed away today (25th in US).

The above is the cover of November 22nd, 1976’s edition of the Time magazine. Together with Kate Jackson and Jacklyn Smith, she made up the the terrific trio who solved crime in a fresh, feminine way. Aged 62, she died after a long battle with cancer. She was suppose to marry long time friend and partner Ryan O’Neal in few weeks, but it was fated otherwise.

Charlie’s Angel was a groundbreaking series in the 1970s that brought women into a domain traditionally held by male actors – the private investigationĀ  genre.

May this two souls rest in piece and have a better next life.
