Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs

From shear childhood joy in the early days, to pure funk and raw angst in the end, Michael Jackson single-handedly transformed the pop music and the dance world. After such a huge beginning most would have burned out early. Michael seemed to grow with us and reinvented himself at the perfect moment in time.

As difficult as it was to narrow down, here are my picks for the Top 10 Michael Jackson songs. These are in no particular order.

"Childhood" (HIStory - Past, Present and Future - Book 1)

Michael Jackson did his best to explain himself to us in this raw song. This is the MJ song that makes me think he seemed to have actually lived the life of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. As the 5 year old front man for the Jackson 5, Michael had the star power of a seasoned veteran. He gave straight forward answers in interviews like a business professional. By the end Michael had shrunken to a stick figure. His interviews were short, with childlike answers. He only spoke of love, in a sing-song whisper of a voice.
