Michael Jackson's new song "This Is It," a slow-tempo, inspirational ballad hit the streets at midnight on Monday, streaming on Jackson's Web site.

Jackson, who in the 1980s became the most famous man in the world after the release of "Thriller," has re-emerged as a popular cultural icon and musical legend since his surprising death on June 25.

A two-disc soundtrack and movie by the same name will be released later this month.

Before he died, Jackson was scheduled to perform a 50-date concert tour in London.
