One year after the unexpected death of pop superstar Michael Jackson, his peers recall an immensely talented performer gone too soon.
"He was the kind of performer that you just don't forget. He was legendary, his music is going to go on and on, a perennial artist, forever," said the queen of soul Aretha Franklin.
Meanwhile singer Jennifer Lopez said,"I mean just as a performer, anybody who does what we do, sings and dances, as an entertainment looks up to him because he did it at such a high level, you know?"
Her husband Marc Antony added, "One of a kind, once in a lifetime."
Jackson died at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009.
Autopsy results revealed that Jackson died from an overdose of the powerful sedative, Propofol, administered to him by his physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who is currently awaiting trial for manslaughter which is set to start in August.
