Born on August 29, 1958, Michael Joseph Jackson was destined to be a musical superstar. The second-youngest brother of a working class family in Gary, Indiana, Jackson had to reach his way to the top the hard way. Starting at an early age, Michael and his brothers formed the Jackson 5 and won their first talent show in 1966 with a rendition of The Temptations' "My Girl." The group became a hit and was soon performing shows across the country.

Soon after starting his solo career, MJ created the Thriller album in 1982, which became the best-selling album in music history. Jackson soon became the King of Pop and had a fan base that spanned the globe.

In recent years there has been much controversy surrounding Michael and he has been living a more quiet lifestyle. Although some question these MJs actions, there is no denying that he is the greatest and most accomplished musicianin history.
