Really? I would have thought Muhammad Ali myself, but perhaps his star is finally fading. So go ahead and google: "Who is the most famous person in the world."

Kids don't know who he is. My 17 year old son hardly knows who he is, and none of his friends know who Farrah Fawcett was.

Michael Jackson appears on a couple of lists, 'tis true, but 'easily the most famous'?

He sold out those upcoming London dates in about 2 minutes! It was actually my son who said he's the most famous person in the world.

I don't think so.

P.S. I remember riding my bicycle delivering my paper route listening to 'I wanna hold your hand' on my six transistor radio when it was at the top of the charts.

See it's all about age. I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show, but I was 6 years old. My older brother is the one who grabbed me one day away from my cartoons and said "hey, come listen to this!" and sat me in front of a radio to hear 'I wanna hold your hand'. But all the kids my age was excited about them. We remember seeing these four really odd looking cargo planes.. big fat looking things, and we all thought that each one had one of the Beatles!

But I became a musician from seeing that show.

well, I didn't cry when Lennon or Harrison died, but I do get awfully teary-eyed at Strawberry Fields, My Sweet Lord and some others that get too little airplay nowadays :(

John Lennon was one of my heros. I always wanted to meet him, Salvador Dali, Groucho Marx, and later Imani Coppola... I only got to meet her.

25 percent average... not too bad considering at least 3 of the 4 are deceased.

Yeah, not too bad. We got to be friends, since I put up a website for her.

Most people have no idea who she is, except as the recent alter ego "Little Jackie".

(this is what your face looks like when you are holding up a camera in one hand.... :eek: )

Captain Eo is an unheralded Michael Jackson film that was used as a theme attraction at Disney amusement parks:

Thanks Gene that was great. Maybe Bassett should take note and have music and artists at his next conference.
