Last week, Michael Jackson, "The King of Pop," died after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 50, and preparing start a series of comeback concerts.
Jackson's musical accomplishments were many, including the hits "Bad," "Billie Jean," "Thriller" and "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)." His 1982 album "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time.
He collaborated with Paul McCartney, Quincey Jones, and his sister, Janet Jackson.
He invented the moonwalk.
And while his behavior later in life was bizarre, we prefer to focus on the positives, like Jackson's music, and his charity work.
In one instance, the two overlapped. Jackson co-wrote the charity single "We Are the World," which was released worldwide to aid the poor in Africa and the United States.
Tell us who co-wrote the song for a chance to win an audio book.
