Michael Joseph Jackson (born 1958) is truly a music legend. He became a superstar at the age of eleven as a member of his family band The Jackson 5. His solo career earned him the title "King of Pop". His studio albums have all become classics. Jackson is equally famous for his high energy and complicated dance techniques such as the Moonwalk. He died in 2009 at the age of 50.


Jackson dominated the music charts throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s. His distinctive 1 vocal 2 style, rhythm and fashion were perfect for the new music video age. MTV enthusiastically played his videos to the world. His ‘Thriller’ video had all the excitement of a major movie release. Jackson became a true icon 3 of pop culture and influenced dozens of today’s top stars.


Jackson’s personal life created significant controversy 4 and earned him a nickname he hated, ‘Wacko Jacko’. He angered many by having plastic surgery and lightening his skin to look white. His reputation was badly damaged in several high-profile child sexual abuse cases in 2003 and 2005. The courts cleared him on both occasions.


His awards and records are proof of the phenomenal success he achieved. He won World Music Award's Best-Selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium 5, and was the American Music Award's Artist of the Century. ‘Thriller’ remains 6 the best selling album of all time. ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine named him the "Most popular artist in the history of show business".
