Synopsis!
"Gone Too Soon" is a song recorded by American musician Michael Jackson. It was written by Buz Kohan and Larry Grossman, and co-produced by Bruce Swedien and Jackson for the singer's eighth studio album, Dangerous (1991). The song was also mixed by Swedien, and featured instrumentation by artists such as Steve Porcaro, Michael Boddicker, Abraham Laboriel and Paulinho Da Costa. "Gone Too Soon" was dedicated to the memory of Jackson's friend Ryan White, a teenager from Kokomo, Indiana who came to national attention, after being expelled from his school for having HIV/AIDS.

The song was released on December 1, 1993, as the ninth and final single from the Dangerous album. Following its release—on World AIDS Day of 1993—"Gone Too Soon" became a moderate chart success in several countries: France, Germany, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland and the UK. The song was not released in the US, but became a hit in Africa, where it charted at number 3. "Gone Too Soon" was not a significant critical success, as it received mixed reviews from music critics.

About "Ryan Wayne White"!
"Ryan Wayne White" (December 6, 1971 April 8, 1990) was an American teenager from Kokomo, Indiana who became a national poster child for HIV/AIDS in the United States after being expelled from school because of his infection. A hemophiliac, he became infected with HIV from a contaminated blood treatment and, when diagnosed in 1984, was given six months to live. Though doctors said he posed no risk to other students, AIDS was poorly understood at the time, and when White tried to return to school, many parents and teachers in Kokomo rallied against his attendance. A lengthy legal battle with the school system ensued, and media coverage of the struggle made White into a national celebrity and spokesman for AIDS research and public education. He appeared frequently in the media with celebrities such as Elton John, Michael Jackson and Phil Donahue. Surprising his doctors, White lived five years longer than predicted and died in April 1990, shortly before he would have completed high school.

"Michael Jackson Memorial"!
At the "Michael Jackson Memorial", R&B singer Usher performed "Gone Too Soon" as a tribute to the late singer. During the performance, the entertainer—wearing dark sunglasses and a yellow rose pinned to the lapel of his jacket—approached Jackson's gold-plated casket, which was in attendance. Usher placed his left hand upon the coffin, before completing the final lyric—"gone too soon"—through tears.


.....Lyrics.....

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon.....End

  • @MJJCantStopLovinU quit ripping off a christmas carol.

  • Tears everytime I watch this video.. Too many gone too soon! GOD BLESS EVERY1

  • @bigbearfla sorry about your cousin, it looks like my dads going the same way, I heard people can be house bound and end up with oxygen tanks, my dad isn't that bad yet but he is whacked before he even starts, I think that's probably because COPD weakens the muscles people use to breathe, so it takes a lot more effort for them to simply breathe.

  • @bigbearfla My dad has COPD and has smoked all his life, and having COPD doesn't stop him either, he also has an odd addiction to Askit powders, he takes god knows how many in the course of a day. But the COPD thing seems to be making him really breathless and his limbs have went really thin, he was always thin but his arms and legs were never that thin, you would think if you got something like COPD you would stop smoking which just goes to show how addictive smoking is.

  • @somervillearron..hey! your entitled to your opinion and so am i so whatever ....loser!

  • @anita606 bullshit.....when you die its were like a broken computer our components fail and we just turn off never to turn on again............heaven is just a fairy tail for people who are scared of the dark

  • test

  • i think people who pass away before their time are going to a better place up there x

  • my hope is that just one smoker will see my posting and stop smoking before you die from COPD
