He left a footprint in everybody's hearts (:

One of my biggest role model is THAT GUY. I must confess, I've never grown up listening to his songs or watching his videos. But if there's one thing about Michael that I knew was that he holds Guinness World Record. They called him The Charity King. He's moon walked through many lives. Donating,caring and loving for others. He's one of the MOST humble and selfless human being.

Sure he's changed people's perspective about racism. About African-Americans. Sure he's inspired modern dance choreography. But the HUGEST impact, I would think, he has made was giving SO MUCH to unfortunate people all around the world. I think people should take a break from reminiscing about the days who Moon Walked on stage or Crotch Clutched or the money he would make in a year and how much he would lose after making that chunk of money and instead take a step back and look at the work he's done.

The messages he had left for us long before he left us. He's reached out to people who are in need, but there's only so much one can do. He's written songs as a message to us. His actions [donating. his music videos] tell us so much.

As the world continues to mourn the loss of a great artist, the Guinness World Record book remembers Michael Jackson instead as the king of charity. See these are the things that are IMPORTANT. I've nothing against his life as a performer, I'm just saying that we should realize about the times he traveled to the poorest countries to help.

The Millennium issue listed the music legend under Most Charities Supported By A Pop Star, with a staggering 39 international organizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Those are only the known ones however, as Jackson was also prone to giving away impulsively and anonymously.

Jackson had been known to hand over the proceeds from concerts to local charities and hospitals as he did with the History tour in Bombay, or donate personal items for auction to organisations like UNESCO. It’s been estimated he may have given up to $500 million to charity in his lifetime.

In addition to his charity work, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, had more Guinness world records than any other artist, including Most Successful Concert Series and Biggest Selling Album for Thriller

It's just hard for me to accept that the Charity King's gone too.
