THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

...with MICHAEL JACKSON! I'm not making a habit of this, but he did die 5 years ago this week, making it an apt moment to revisit his hits with the Jackson 5, like  "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save" and "Never Can Say Goodbye," and solo hits like "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," and "Billie Jean," which not only broke the color barrier at MTV, but also ushered in an era of big-budget videos that may have peaked with the John Landis-directed "Thriller," the title track of the mega-seller that also spawned smashes like "Beat It."
