Michael Joseph Jackson was the first musical voice I ever heard that made me stop and want to learn more about music. Of course I was very young at the time. And yes, there were lots of other great tunes floating around when I was a kid. But nothing really sparked my desire in music until I heard I Want You Back one day on the radio.
Luckily, my mom had an extensive vinyl record collection (including old 45s) and to my amazement she had at least three Jackson 5 records (including I Want You Back)!
But she had no idea what she was starting... because I literally played the groves off that poor old 45 record! I played it for HOURS... over and over again (Im not kidding)! I practically *forced* my mom and godmother to tell me/figure out the words to the song this little Michael Jackson guy was singing... I was simply obsessed with that song... and with the singer.
On June 25, 2009 when Michael passed away... at first, I thought it was a lie. No, that cant be possible! I thought. To me it was almost UNIMAGINABLE to have music in this world without him, because there are FAR too many musicians, singers and dancers in this world today as a DIRECT RESULT of Michael Jackson for him NOT to exist anymore!
I mean... there would be no Usher today without Michael Jackson!
There would be no Justin Timberlake today without Michael Jackson!
This world has lost something irreplaceable... and I dont think in a thousand years well have another Michael Jackson.
He truly was Natures Delight.
So I hope youll take a moment and watch this special piano tribute I prepared in dedication to Michael Jackson. The music is an original piece I wrote... and frankly... it almost literally POURED out of me one day as I was sitting at my piano!
Thanks for watching... and please leave me your comments!

Thanks everyone! I didn't realize I was missed that much....... this song/video is only a small part of what I've been up to during my absence.
New Lessons will be available in a few weeks (as soon as my disc manufacturer hurries up and finishes my DVD already*)
As always thanks for your support! - Brandon
