I was going to say Michael Jackson as well - hi everyone - but he's white isn't he??

He wasn't black, he was Jewish and the son of a Rabbi! Sorry, but I'm laughing at the thought of him being on mtv. Nobody would ever have watched it!!

If I am right, please don't post the video - I can't stand any of his music.
