| Michael became a superstar at an age when most other children are learning things like the alphabet and how to count to 20. Born (August 29, 1958) the seventh child in a family of nine, Michael and his older brothers (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon) were thrust into the spotlight when their father, Joseph Jackson, a steel mill worker in Gary, Indiana, formed a singing group out of his sons and called them The Jackson 5.
Even though Michael was the youngest, it became immediately obvious that he had something special. Armed with a magical voice mature beyond its tender years and a crowd-charming charisma that rivaled any seasoned entertainer, little Michael lead his brothers from winning local talent contests to a recording contract with Motown Records in the late 1960's. In 1976, the Jacksons left Motown and signed with Epic Records where they continued to crank out one hit after another. In 1978 Michael ventured into film when he starred opposite Diana Ross in The Wiz, an African-American remake of the Wizard of Oz. The film itself was unexceptional but it did put Michael on a collision course with destiny because it introduced him to legendary producer Quincy Jones who arranged the film's score. Michael and Quincy collaborated on his next solo project, Off The Wall. And with that album Michael was immediately transformed from a cute little kid act into an adult superstar. in 1982, that's just what Michael did with the release of a monster of an album called Thriller.Thriller broke all kinds of records. It sold more than 50 million copies worldwide (that's more than any other album before it or since). Bad, Michael's next solo project released in 1987, sold over 25 million copies worldwide.In 1991, with his next album, Dangerous, Michael continued the astronomical sales figures with 23 million copies sold worldwide. In 1995, Michael released his most ambitious project yet. HIStory Past, Present and Future Book I was a massive double album containing 15 of Michael's greatest hits from his previous four albums and 15 brand new songs. In 1997 Michael released Blood On The Dance floor: HIStory In The Mix. The album contained 5 new songs. In February of that year his wife Debbie, whom he married in November of 1996, gave birth to their first child, a son named "Prince" Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. A daughter, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson followed in 1998. In June 1999, the King of Pop released his new solo album entitled 'Invincible' at the end of October 2001. The year 2002 brought Michael the joy of becoming a father to another child named Prince Michael II. In November of 2003, Michael Jackson released a Greatest Hits compilation called 'Number 1's'. In November 2004, the highly anticipated 'Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection' finally arrived. Filled with songs that span the extraordinary career of Michael Jackson from 1969 to 2004, the box set consists of five discs, one of which is a DVD of the Michael Jackson Live in Bucharest Concert from the Dangerous Tour. |
