Music is emotion.
You get a feeling when you hear a certain beat.
Michael Jackson's songs made people feel good.
‘Wait a minute we even had a dog, and we named the dog Ben after, you remember the movie Ben? Yes 'Ben the two of us yes, we had a dog and named him Ben.' A radio caller says.
Baltimore's Ninety two Q and Magic 95 remembered the King of Pop with songs and callers sharing their emotions.
‘When I was growing up there wasn't a brother in the neighborhood who didn't want to be like Michael Jackson.' A radio caller said.
‘The key to his success is that the entire planet didn't look at him as white or black he transcended even nationality he wasn't black he wasn't white he wasn't an American he was a guy who was born to boogie.' Magic 95 Program Director Tim Watts says.
The last time Michael Jackson was actually in Baltimore was in the mid 70's.
KC and the Sunshine Band and Tavares opened up for the Jackson in what was once called the Baltimore Civic Center it's not just that performance there that they remember they remember Michael for many things.
When she was 17 Nona Nielsen-Park worked at the old Painter's Mill's Music Fair when the Jackson Five tour came through Owings Mills in 1976.
It's a picture she'll always treasure.
'He was great it was right after the show he was tired and he just kind of did it fast and went off that was it.' Nielsen Park says. 'The place was packed that night it was standing room only it was crowded it was crazy so to think that he was gonna get bigger no I don't think I thought that.'
At his peak Michael Jackson packed stadiums, and people waited in line for days just to get tickets.
Little girls packed their rooms with posters and dreamed of meeting him.
It's those emotions that will make them always think of Michael
