“Got a light skin friend look like Michael Jackson, got a dark skin friend look like Michael Jackson” – Kanye West. 

Four years ago today, the world received devastating news that the “King Of Pop” and music icon Michael Jackson had passed away. 

For countless years, Michael Jackson inspired and influenced the masses to be themselves and to love everyone regardless of race, religion, or creed. 

Michael was not only influential musically, but he changed the entire landscape of pop culture. From his days of being the star in the Jackson 5, to his days of mesmerizing millions with his iconic dance moves, Michael Jackson is the greatest music star of our generation and generations to come. 

So in honor of MJ, we decided to round up pictures of Michel Jackson through the years, and yes, we have photos of both dark skin Michael and light skin Michael. 

We will forever miss Michael Jackson, so here is a celebration of him through the years.
