It was his first real chance to gain the attention of people all across America for the first time ever in the rap game. This song was an anthem that he came up with to express how he felt about jewelry, or as slang would imply, "ice."

I've been to some of the most destitute corners of the world. Places that have no running water or electricity. Places where eating 3 meals a day is the exception. Places like Cameroon, Central Africa where the majority of people live on less than a dollar a day and don't even know how to begin thinking about the outside world. But no matter where I've been, the one thing that everyone has in common is that they know the name Michael Jackson.

The contribution of Blues music to the development of many other genres of music is very significant. Blues was originally grown out of the hardships endured by many generations of African Americans, and first arose from the rural Mississippi region, around about the time of the dawn of the 20th century. The style developed from work shouts (known as arhoolies), and became the vocal narrative style that we associate with blues music today.

Music is present at every important social gathering - weddings, funerals, birthdays, inaugurations and more.

I really did not know if I wanted to be sad for the mega-superstar, that changed the music game forever, or if I was relieved for him, that he would now find peace. It is said that Michael Jackson died with massive debt, and we all know that a 50 state tour, would wreak havoc on even the youngest of performers, so we know that the thought of that for Michael, was probably too much to bear, or even think about. He never had a childhood, so I do get why he remained so childlike for most of his life, after all, he began performing professionally at the age of just four years old.

Rollins started as a piano player before being given his first saxophone at age 13. That first saxophone was an alto, a nod to saxophonist Louis Jordon. Rollins would switch over to tenor at the age of 16, inspired by his idol Coleman Hawkins. By the time he was 20, Rollins was playing with the legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. Other notable musicians that Sonny had played and recorded with by then include Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, Babs Gonzales and Bud Powell.
