Michael Jackson

Bio

Michael Jackson was an iconic and talented pioneer and recording artist, entertainer and businessman. He began his career as the breakout star of The Jackson 5 when he was only nine years old and he began his solo career in 1971.

Michael Jackson was dubbed the "King of Pop" because his albums sold the most copies in the history of music and his talent had no bounds and remains indescribable.

Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, 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 across several generations.

Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundations, charity singles, and support of 39 charities. 

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, and the sale of 750 million records worldwide.[4] At the time of his death, he was preparing for This Is It, a series of 50 concerts that would have been held in London beginning July 13, 2009.
