Michael's caricature on this label was the beginning of an unfolding of a journey through the evolution/revolution in music, dance, trends, language and styles and so much more. He inspired multiple generations in so many ways.
I remember this song as a little kid, along with the Beatles, creating a world change in culture. But Michael was such an influencer (that is a more current term) that he literally singlehandedly evoked so many cultural changes.
As an artist, he stood alone in his accomplishments and early and tragic demise.
P.S. on edit: thanks for the flashback, Celerity!
