The music world mourns the loss of Michael Jackson. We, as disc jockeys, reflect on Michael’s great influence on Fort Wayne weddings. Looking back, six MJ songs have had the most play time at our local weddings over the last twenty-plus years. Of course, Michael’s music paved the way for many contemporary artists and their hit songs also.
From 1979, “Rock With You” brings back memories of roller skating and youthful endeavors.
“Billy Jean” (1983) still draws all sorts of “moon walking” dancers to the floor.
“P.Y.T.” (1983-Pretty Young Thing) offers many dancers a fun beat.
1984’s “Thriller” is probably one of most requested reception songs thanks to Youtube.
Many wedding couples use “The Way You Make Me Feel” (1987) as a breakout first dance song.
Whether it is the original or another group's remake, “Smooth Criminal’s” (1988) heavy beats burn up the dance floor.
All in all, Michael Jackson’s music touches people of all ages. His style and tunes will be fondly remembered and danced to for years to come.
