I'm not a groupie and I don't remember dates of birth and death of every famous person, but this date has stuck with me since Michael's untimely departure in 1997. He may be gone, but he is far from forgotten. His evocative and timeless music coupled with his powerful vocal presence is still heard on radios, CDs and MP3 players day after day, year after year. Michael, I hope your soul found the Peace you sought. You live on in so many ways all over the world.
