| Michael Jackson Biography |
No doubt, the king of Pop will not leave his the throne soon. The trace he
left in the history of popular music is deeper than the one of any other
performer so far. And can hardly be encompassed in a single publication. His
creation stuff is just enormous! No wonder, given his very early and highly
promising start in the music genre. Michael becomes famous for being the
focal point in his family musical group - Jackson 5. With his overflowing
dancing energy and captivating vocal skills, Michael turns his group into a
real sensation. His phenomenal magnetism as a performer helps the group make
their first four singles real chart-toppers ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "The
Love You Save," and "I'll Be There"). Being that conspicuously talented
within a group is certainly a sign for a promising solo career. Thus Michael
gradually slips out of the Jacksons to make the public more capable of
enjoying his talent. His collaboration with Quincy Jones brings to the
market Michael's first solo album as an adult - Off the Wall that is
followed in 1982 by the biggest album in pop music history - Thriller that
stays on the charts for over two years, selling around 45 million copies
worldwide. The album is a true sensation that revolutionizes the pop scene.
On the basis of the album singles Michael demonstrates a strikingly
innovative style in video clips performance. He is actually the performer to
launch the song-length-movie-video-clip style, by making MTV go crazy with
rotating the clips and promoting his works as a real masterpiece. As a
notable part of his performance, the "moonwalk" is declared the Jacksons
signature. Michael reaps the benefits of his productivity at an incredibly
fast rate, spawning hit after hit. Jackson's popularity and welfare reach
such enormous heights that he could afford to get hold of the rights to the
Beatles' catalog.
In his following album releases, "Bad" and "Dangerous" Michael keeps up the
good pace in making high-quality music and spectacular stage shows, thus
deservedly getting the moniker "the King of Pop". His rise to the stardom
peak is logically accompanied by great speculations over his personality,
most of which related to his childish sentimentality. His passion for the
innocence of childhood is related to innumerable initiatives for children in
his Neverland Ranch, that gives rise to widely-spreading rumors about his
sexual partiality and sends him to court on accusations of molesting
children. Those shocking events make him travel far from his music career to
enter into two marriages (to Lisa Marie Presley and nurse Debbie Rowe) and
have two children - son Prince Michael Jackson Jr. and daughter Paris
Michael Katherine Jackson. That devotion to personal matters does not
prevent him from being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001
despite the unsatisfactory success that his recent releases register. His
return to the stage spotlight is marked by a massive concert at Madison
Square Garden that celebrates the 30th anniversary of his first solo record.
Despite the fact that Michael's career has been recently on hold and his
name has been related to some scandalous events, there is no way for his
fans to stop believing that their idol has left a profound imprint on the
pop music scene.
