Michael Jackson: Music and Video
Email Linkby Pitchfork
June 26, 2009
As we discussed in our look back at Michael Jackson's legacy, it feels right to mourn the passing of his sad life and then turn to his music. Here's a Lala Playlist with many of his best singles. And on the next few pages, you'll find many of his most striking videos-- official, live, and miscellaneous, including commercials and TV performances (note that many come from MTV, and these have pre-roll ads) We'll continue to add to this as we find good ones.

"ABC"
"I'll Be There"
"Jackson 5ive" Opening Segment
"Ben"
