Upon watching the televised memorial, I think Barry Gordy summed up the creative impact of Michael Jackson by stating, "He studied the greats and then became greater. He raised the bar and then broke the bar."

It is heartbreaking to see all the people all over the world who were touched by MJ. They had the beauty of this artist in their lives for nearly half a century and now this beauty is gone.

The memorial is one of the most astounding I've ever seen. I hope some of you got to see it. It was interesting to see that the Jackson Five had their first four songs go gold.

Then MJ broke out solo with Billie Jean and his moonwalk. It made pop history.
