Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, and has captivated audiences for most of his life. His father, Joe Jackson (not related to Joe Jackson, also a musician), was once a guitarist, but was forced to give up his musical ambitions after marrying Michael's mother. , Katherine Jackson (née Katherine Esther Scruse). Together, they fueled the growing family home's musical taste. In the early 1960s, older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine began performing in the city; In 1964 Michael and Marlon joined.
As a musical prodigy, Michael's singing and dancing skills were superb, and he quickly became the main vocalist and focal point of Jackson 5. As an opening act for soul bands like the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group into Berry Gordy's sights, and in 1969 the boys created consecutive rankings. successful as Motown artists ("I Want You Back", "ABC", "Never Can Say Goodbye", "Got to Be There", etc.). A product of the 1970s, the boys became one of the most successful black pop/soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a group like The Temptations into a disco phenomenon.
Michael's solo success was inevitable, and by the 1980s he had become infinitely more popular than his sister band. Record sales continued to orbit, culminating in the best-selling album of all time, "Thriller" in 1982. Being a television aficionado, he ventured into the movies quite well. unpleasant, like playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978), but had much better luck with elaborate MVs.
During the 1990s, the decline as a pop phenomenon of the 1980s began to manifest. Michael was made childish and terribly introverted by his peerless celebrity. Starting off as a rather amorous and androgynous character, his appearance begins to change dramatically and his behavior becomes alarmingly odd, making him a frequent target. frequent scandals, although he has done many charitable acts. Two brief marriages - one to Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley - were forged and two children were created by his second wife during this time, but the goal behind them seems to be oriented by the image.
Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. His passion and artistry as a singer, dancer, writer and entrepreneur is unmatched, and it is these extraordinary talents that will eventually overcome the overwhelming negative aspects in his difficult adult life.
