In the 1980&amp;#039;s he went solo with such groundbreaking hits as &amp;quot;Thriller.&amp;quot; His sound has crossed the genres of pop, R&amp;amp;amp;B, rock and soul. He will be remembered for his enormous contribution to music as we know it. Go to MTV News to read how other musicians will remember him. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
