    Fun Facts

    Michael Jackson
    He was born in Gary, Indiana. The family could only afford a two bedroom house for two adults and nine children. It is now one of the poorest and most violent cities in the Midwest. It is currently estimated that at least one-third of the city’s houses are abandoned or vacant.

    Michael was reportedly so terrified of his father, who abused him mentally (mocking his "fat nose") and physically, he would vomit and faint in his presence. He also had nightmares throughout his life.

    He was a fan of Pinocchio.

    Michael Jackson was the first black artist to air on MTV with his music video for Billie Jean.

    Van Halen loved Beat It so much he recorded his guitar solo free of charge.

    Jackson had the highest royalty rates In the music industry in the 1980s.

    Michael Jackson also became the first western star to appear in an advertisement in the Soviet Union-for Pepsi.

    On the morning of 9/11, he had a meeting in one of the Twin Towers but luckily missed it because he overslept.

    Here is his childhood home--->

    James Brown This is a Man's Man's Man's World

    Bill Withers Ain't No Sunshine ; another two of my nominations going head-to-head. Was a bit of a coin flip for me really, happy to see either of them go through.

    Think I had heard all the other things about him at one point, but was unaware of this Michael Jackson fact. Very interesting.

    James Brown I Got You(I Feel Good)

    Alicia Keys Fallin ; were he not up against one of my own nominations Prince would probably get my vote here, but I did nominate Fallin' and I have a great love for the song, so I'm sticking by it.

    Massive Attack Unfinished Sympathy <would have preferred either of these over the other two>

    Prince Let's Go Crazy <not my favourite Prince track but Fallin' is another one of those songs for me that, while perfectly fine, got ruined somewhat from being overplayed

    EDIT: To add to the above:

    James Brown This is a Man's Man's Man's World

    Bill Withers Ain't No Sunshine
