Overview
Michael Jackson was an international star, and from the age of 5, Michael Jackson’s story augments each and every time we hear his music or watch his videos. Michael Jackson was the eighth child of the Jackson family, and already a major recording star with the Jackson 5, he began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. His 1982 album Thriller became the bestselling record of all time, and four other solo studio albums are also among the world's bestselling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995). The first African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV, Jackson pushed the boundaries of the rock video and popularized a number of revolutionary dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop, and contemporary R&B artists. One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, Jackson’s other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, and 13 number-one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist. His highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a fixture in global culture for almost four decades. Michael Jackson was a musical icon, and inundated the world with his genius. He fascinated with his style as a preteen, and then made the world bow down at his feet with his musical performances. The world was sadden and shock by his untimely death. However, Michael Jackson forever lives in the hearts of all that love and respect his short time on earth. There will be only one Michael Joseph Jackson, and through these words, we will always keep his memory alive.Synopsis
