Thousands waited in line for hours outside New York City's historic Apollo Theater to attend a tribute to the late singer Michael Jackson, who died June 26 at the age of 50. People sang, danced in line, bought Jackson memorabilia, and celebrated a life of music they said they grew up listening to -- and will continue to cherish. VOA's Carolyn Weaver was at the scene and talked to some of the fans.
