The life of Michael Joseph Jackson
Since Michael Joseph Jackson is now dead we should put a short pop and life history of for you. I am sure you already know everything there is to know but just so you have your facts straight.
Michael Joseph Jackson was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The 7th child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971. Referred to as the “King of Pop” in subsequent years, 5 of his solo studio albums are among the world’s best-selling records in the world. In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first Afro entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as “Beat It”, “Billie Jean” and Thriller and personally I think Thriller was the best one. It made music and video into a art form like nobody done before. Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated 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, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time”—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era. His career also pushed the signing career of his two sisters Janet Jackson and La Toya Jackson even if the later is more of a nude model the singer and the family black cheap. His death came very sudden and was not expected by anyone. He was doing a tour in the UK this summer and they were sold out already.
