One of the greatest entertainers of all-time was born on this date in 1958 in Gary, Indiana. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson would’ve turned 64 years old today.

From his childhood with his brothers in the Jackson 5 to his solo career, Michael Jackson is arguably one of the most influential people of the 20th Century. You can still hear his influence in today’s pop music.

For today’s Forgotten 45, we go back to the “Bad” album and “Dirty Diana”. The song was a #1 hit in 1988 and is often compared to “Beat It” with the heavy guitar riff.

Today we remember Michael Jackson on the Forgotten 45 at 3:45.
