Was there ever a more theatrical performer?

From his moonwalkin' tipping point to his mini-musical, Thriller (soon to be a full fledged musical), to his performance in The Wiz . . . I don't think the world has ever seen such a man as Michael.  

The tragedy of his death is only overshadowed by the tragedy of the last several years of his life, when he seemed so compelled to be that performer, on and off the stage.

The words "rest in peace" were made for Michael Jackson.
