Michael Jackson, one of the biggest pop icons in modern history, has passed away at the age of 50. Although Jackson’s music career hit its peak in the 80’s, his influence on music, and especially music videos, has persisted throughout.
And Jackson’s YouTube channel – which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Thriller – includes all of his most popular videos, many of which have been viewed tens of millions of times.
Like comedian George Carlin, who passed away last year, we thought the best way to pay tribute to The King of Pop would be through sharing his work. Below, some of our favorite Jackson videos (a full collection can be found here), lead off by what’s regarded by many as the greatest music video of all-time: Thriller.
