Perhaps people spend too much time criticizing and speculating about Michael Jackson's odd habits and not enough time taking note of the great things he did for the world. For example, did you know MJ was a world record holder for his charitable work? No joke, the man held a title in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the pop star to "Most Support Charities."

In his lifetime, Michael contributed more than $300 million to various organizations, and spent a great deal of time spreading the word about positive change through songs like Man in the Mirror and Black or White.
Here is a MASSIVE list of all philanthropic work and awards done by the King of Pop - beginning 25 years ago. Wow.
He may have had some quirky behavior, but one thing is for sure... the man had a HUGE heart. Watch this video, featuring his song Heal the World, to see many of the ways he tried to make the world a better place, especially for children.
Simply heartbreaking! R.I.P., MJ.
