Musical Legends/Prophets

As I was driving home I started thinking about MJ as a musical legend/prophet. I think he qualifies. Let's make a list of some musical legends and hash out whether they get prophet status. Doesn't matter the era or the genre.

Legends that I think are prophets.

• Michael Jackson
• John Lennon
• Prince
• Elvis
• Mozart
• Beethoven

It doesn't matter if you don't like them personally or if they have a bad personality or were freaky weird. It's their music and their talent and their ability to influence the music world that elevates them to prophet status.
