Michael Jackson
Michael Joseph Jackson, born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, was an iconic American singer, songwriter, and dancer, famously known as the "King of Pop." He was the eighth of ten children in a musical family, with parents Joseph and Katherine Jackson, who encouraged their children's musical pursuits. Michael's career began at the age of 5 when he became the lead singer of the Jackson 5, a group formed with his older brothers Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, and later Marlon. The group gained popularity for their dynamic performances and Michael's exceptional vocal abilities.
Jackson's solo career catapulted him to unprecedented fame, with albums like "Off the Wall," "Thriller," and "Bad" producing numerous No. 1 hits. "Thriller" remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. Despite his success, Jackson's later years were marred by allegations of child molestation and legal troubles. He was a 13-time Grammy Award winner and continued to influence the music industry until his death on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, due to a drug overdose. Jackson was married to Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe, with whom he had three children: Michael "Prince," Paris, and Prince "Blanket." His legacy endures through his groundbreaking contributions to music and dance.
