I certainly liked his music. He was such a cute little boy when singing with Jackson Five. I was too old to really be in his generation but I taught school and the kids played him at all parties so I ke[t up with him
it didnt personally impact me, but i think its bullshit that 14 people have killed themselves and a lady aborted her baby because of it... i would like to punch her in the face
He was an entertainer. That was his job. He had some great hits and some misses. Impact? I don't think so unless of course, singing along with his songs is impact.
Yes, and I am sure he has directly or indirectly impacted everybody who listens to music whether they realized it or not. I know he was a little off the deep end in his later years, but I bet he had some reason behind some of his madness that we couldn't understand because we don't know the whole story. That being said, crazy or not, he was a musical genius and he has some awesome songs.
