Love him or hate him, I always will remember Michael Jackson for doing the Music Video "Remember The Time". He dared to create a video showing Black people as Egyptians ! Some might argue that it was only a music video & know one really took it serious, I say wrong !
Many in the African American community knew what Michael Jackson was saying & conveying in this ground breaking (Film) music video. While it lift many "others" dumbed founded, to why it was a big deal in the African American communities, or just "amused", & therefor did not understand it's impact, including the white media !
I say it is the very first time a(film) that ancient Egyptians was shown as Africans, with the beauiful Iman as queen, & Eddy Murphy as Pharaoh, & the royal court all Africans.
The production value was off the charts & directed I believe by John Singalton ? Now if only someone had the nerves & money..... with the production value as good or better as "Remember The Time" to make a film (serious) today !
In this respects Michael Jackson was way ahead of his & time in pointing the way for future generations !
P.S. If you have noticed they have not shown the whole video on broadcast television, or if they do, it is maybe a second or two of "Remember The Time" for the status-Quo knows how ground breaking this video is, & presents a paradigm shift !
