“He pushed the milestone of pop music to unbelievable levels. I am yet to find an artist with that energy, perfection and vision.”
During their meeting n Los Angeles (USA) earlier this year, when Jackson showed Rahman a five second example of his dance move, Rahman stated, “It was like a lightning strike.”
Jackson even reportedly asked Rahman during this meeting to compose a unity anthem. Jackson collaborated with Rahman on Ekam Satyam track in 1999.
