Videos: Michael Jackson through the years

Posted at 3:12 pm

Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after an apparent heart attack, with TMZ.com reporting the King of Pop has died.

Unsurprisingly, embedding is disabled on many of Jackson's videos. The singer was one of the first superstars to embrace the music video form.

His videos for “Thriller,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Black or White,” and “Scream” became classics of the medium. They’re all on his YouTube channel, and worth seeing again.

Here instead is a short round-up of a few of his live performances, the ones that put him into millions of households, year after year.
