Michael Jackson, known as the "King Of Pop," was an American singer, dancer, entertainer, songwriter, producer and recording artist. Born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, he began his career as the youngest member of The Jackson 5 and went on to have a successful solo recording career starting in 1971. With his immense talent and diverse skills as a musician, music producer, writer and choreographer, Jackson became one of the most celebrated and influential music artists of all time.

Aside from his musical achievements, Michael Jackson was also a poet, actor and philanthropist. He came from a talented family of recording artists including siblings Jackie Jackson, Janet Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, La Toya Jackson Marlon Jackson Randy Jackson Rebbie Jackson & Tito Jackson. He was also the uncle of 3T.

In recognition of his contributions to music history and culture,
Jackson was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 as a performer.

Michael jackson's 'thriller' is the bestselling album of all time, with 45 million worldwide sales powered by eight grammy awards. the 1982 album was also a success from which the pop superstar never really recovered - subsequent albums seemed to have no other goal than to beat the records set by 'thriller'. the highly polished sound of quincy jones's production sounds almost organic compared to jackson's more recent work, and in the same regard, 'thriller' was significantly slicker than its predecessor, 'off the wall'. both albums established a jackson style that aimed for the dance floor with songs built on a state-of-the-art bed of percussion and keyboards. elements of milestone thriller tracks like 'billie jean' (arguably jackson's best-ever performance) and 'beat it' (with its hard-rock solo by guitarist eddie van halen) influenced not just jackson's records, but those of the entire dance-pop world. on the song 'thriller', jackson indulged his taste for the juvenile and invited vincent price to rap in a really scary voice. with 'thriller' the album, jackson created a different kind of monster - a hit album of such magnitude that it would have an irrevocable impact not just on the singer's art, but on his altogether kooky life.
