Michael Jackson, Timeless Thriller



Michael Jackson's influence reaches far and wide.

In 2007, a prison consultant in The Philippines, Byron Garcia, introduced a morning exercise routine in the Cebu provincial jail. He taught the prisoners the dance movements shown in Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. The "Prison Thriller" video became an internet sensation with over 23 million hits.

According to AFP, tourists flocked to the Cebu jail to watch 1,500 inmates perform a special dance tribute to Michael Jackson who died yesterday at age 50.

To these prisoners and countless people around the world, Michael Jackson is a music legend, a pop sensation and a global icon.

He is a timeless thriller.
