Remembering Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett

Yesterday was a sad day for the entertainment world. We lost 2 iconic stars within hours of each other.

First, Farrah Fawcett who had been battling cancer for years, lost the fight yesterday and passed away with her family at her side. Best known for her role in Charlie's Angels, Farrah was a symbol of beauty and grace. She was very open about her difficult struggle with cancer, even allowing cameras to document her treatment. The documentary called "Farrah's Story" aired on NBC last month. Did you watch it?

Just a few hours later, we learned about the passing of another legend: Michael Jackson. The news shocked everyone around the world. He was called the "King of Pop" - for good reason. He has sold millions of albums worldwide, including the biggest-selling album in history: Thriller. Countless singers today have cited him as the inspiration for their work. What are some of your favorite Michael Jackson songs?

My thoughts go out to the families of both stars.
