Hitting the top of the pop singles charts as a solo artist, Michael Jackson ranked as the most successful and having an abundance of fans, he will be the artist of all time.

Being as famous as Elvis Presley, he probably was the world’s greatest pop star. Inspite of allegations of improperieties with children, he remained as the world megastar in most countries.

Here are top five singles of all time done by this artist: ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Black or White’, ‘Say Say Say’, ‘Rocks with You’, ‘Beat It’

Michael Jackson’s hits of all time will live on, for he was one influential and much more successful artist of all time.

Many has worshipped the ground Michael Jackson walked on. Many wanted to be him and be like him. In his fans eyes, he was perfect in every way and they absolutely adored him.

Now I am not his worshipper, but I am a fan and I grew up listening to his music and watching  his video clips. The death of Michael Jackson, shocked me and then reminded me about life. How short life is. It felt as if only yesterday I was watching his Black or White video clip. Where has time gone?

While writing this post, tears welled up in my eyes. We all will miss him I’m certain. He was a great entertainer, a great man. For some, this pain of loss of someone in their life causes depression.

Almost every individual can be depressed by certain events. Most people get over the depression within days or weeks while others do not.

Feelings of despair and emptiness fills your heart. You feel disconnected with life. These feelings represent a normal reactive depression. Someone you cherish is gone, so you feel down and react the way you do.

The heartache of a loved one dying, for many, causes depression. I know what it feels like to lose a loved one. I lost my one month old baby 5 years ago. But I am grateful that I succeeded in overcoming my depression.

There are steps that you can take to try to overcome depression.

Do not isolate yourself, talk to your best friend. Expressing your feelings of fear and anger to someone you trust, would really help you deal with your grief and depression. What would also help release depressed feelings is forgiving yourself and others.
