Biography

Michael Jackson is the King of Pop. This is not a title that he gave himself. It was given to him by his millions of fans around the world and by his peers, among whom he has no equal. How did he get the title, you ask? He came by it the old fashioned way. He earned it! No other performer in history has generated the massive sales that he has. No other performer in history has received as many awards and accolades as he has. No other performer in history draws the kind of excitement and mass hysteria that he does. And no other performer in history has done so much in the way of humanitarian efforts than he has. There has never been one like him before, and there will never be one like him again. He is in a class all by himself.

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. The group quickly began turning out hit after hit for their new record label and remained a hit-making machine throughout the "70"s. During their time at Motown, Michael also began a successful solo recording career that would run parallel to his work with his brothers.

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. The album was released in 1979 to critical praise for its crossover blending of soul and rock and its non-stop boogie grove. With the help of number one hits "Don"t Stop "Til You Get Enough" and "Rock With You", the album sold 10 million copies and went multiplatinum. It"s hard to believe that any artist could top a success like that.

But 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). The album spawned a record six top ten singles and spent a record breaking 37 weeks at number one. It remains the best selling album of all time. That year Michael also won an unprecedented eight Grammy Awards - 7 for Thriller and 1 for E.T.-The Storybook. Much of Thriller"s success was due, in part, to a new thing called music videos. Hits like "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Thriller" came alive before our very eyes when paired with a cool story line and Michael"s amazing dancing ability. Michael"s short films not only helped pioneer the video medium but also broke MTV"s color barrier in the process. Thriller made Michael Jackson an American pop icon.

So, what do you do after recording the number one best-selling album in history? You record the number two best-selling album in history, of course! Bad, Michael"s next solo project released in 1987, sold over 25 million copies worldwide and included the hit singles "I Just Can"t Stop Loving You," "The Way You Make Me Feel," and "Man In The Mirror." Accompanied by his first ever solo world tour (the biggest concert tour in history), the Bad album generated 5 consecutive number one hits (a feat unequalled since).

In 1991, with his next album, Dangerous, Michael continued the astronomical sales figures with 23 million copies sold worldwide. With Dangerous came more state of the art videos and another amazing concert tour in 1992.

Michael also made history in 1993 when the notoriously private superstar sat down for a 90-minute live interview with talk show host extraordinaire, Oprah Winfrey. The interview was conducted from Michael"s home, Neverland Valley Ranch in Santa Ynez, California and was the most watched program of 1993 attracting nearly 100 million viewers around the world.

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. HIStory saw Michael turning a corner creatively as the 15 new songs were some of the most personal songs he has ever recorded. By January of 1996, HIStory had been certified six times platinum in the United States alone and it is still the most successful double album of all time.

In 1997 Michael released Blood On The Dance floor: HIStory In The Mix. The album contained 5 new songs (some of the best work he"s ever done, according to many critics), and 8 remixes from HIStory. Some saw this remix CD as a brilliant idea because it brought a two-year-old album back to the forefront.

1997 also saw the beginning of a whole new world for Michael on a personal level. 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. Michael has said that fatherhood is his greatest dream come true.

After two charity concerts held in Seoul (South Korea) and Munich (Germany) in June 1999, the King of Pop released his new solo album entitled "Invincible" at the end of October 2001. Just before this, Michael held two extraordinary concerts on September 7 and 10 of 2001 at the Madison Sqaure Garden in New York (USA) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his career.

The year 2002 brought Michael the joy of becoming a father to another child named Prince Michael II. On July 6, he also attended a fan celebration organized by MJFC at Webster Hall, New York, USA and personally accepted the 30th Anniversary Fan Award donated by fans worldwide.

In November of 2003, Michael Jackson released a Greatest Hits compilation called "Number 1"s". This album includes 18 songs of 16 previously released tracks spanning Jackson"s career from the early solo album "Off The Wall" through "Invincible". It also included a live version of his #1 hit "Ben" (on the US pressing, the European version featured "Blood On The Dance Floor" instead), and the new single "One More Chance."

In March 2004, the DVD "Michael Jackson - The One" is released, featuring 44 minutes taken from a CBS special, including live performances, behind the scenes footage, and footage from the "HIStory" tour. On April 1, Michael is presented with a golden elephant for his work in fighting AIDS in Africa by the AASA (African Ambassadors" Spouses Association) in Washington, USA. In November, the highly anticipated "Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection" arrived, filled with songs that span the extraordinary career from 1969 to 2004. On November 10, Michael is inducted into the UK"s first Hall Of Fame for Music.

On June 13, 2005, the verdict in the Michael Jackson trial considering molestation charges is announced: He is found not guilty on all counts. The verdict finally brings to a close the trauma of the past months for Michael, his family, friends, and fans.

In 2006, Sony-BMG Europe released 20 of Michael Jackson"s greatest hits in the new dual format CD/DVD over five months - the "Visionary" collection. The new "dual disc" format features on one side the music, and on the other side the original video.

And the are more good news for the future: Michael Jackson officially announced his plans to record a new album which might be ready for release in 2007. And he also plans to tour again musically soon. The saga continues...

The Bio History of Michael Joseph Jackson began when he was born on the 29th of August 1958 in Gary, Indiana. He was the 7th of nine children. (brothers: Sigmund "Jackie", Toriano "Tito", Jermaine, Marlon, Steven "Randy", and sisters Rebbie, Janet and La-Toya Jackson

In these early years the Jackson 5, Jackie, Jermaine,Tito,Marlon and lead singer Michael played local clubs and bars in Gary Indiana and moving further afield as there talents grew and they could compete in bigger competitions. From these early days Michael would be at the same clubs as big talented stars of there days, such as Jackie Wilson and would be learning from them even back then. In 1968 the Bobby Taylor and The Vancouvers discovered the Jackson five and from there they got an audition for Berry Gordy of Motown Records. The Jackson 5 signed for Motown and moved to California.

The Jackson 5 stayed with Motown until 1976, wanting more artistic freedom they felt they had to move on and signed up with Epic. The group name Jackson 5 had to be changed as it was owned by Motown, so they reverted to The Jacksons as they had be known in the early days. Brother Jermaine married Berry Gordy"s daughter and stayed with Motown. Youngest brother Randy joined in his place. The Jacksons had a number of hit recordsand in total made 6 albums between the years of 1976 and 1984.

In 1977 Michael made his first film debut when he starred in the musical "The Wiz" playing Scarecrow with Diana Ross in the lead role of Dorothy. It was at this time Michael met Quincy Jones who was doing the score for the film.

Michael teamed up with Quincey Jones as his producer for his first solo album with Epic Records. The album titled "Off The Wall" was a big success around the world and the first ever album to release a record breaking 4 No1 singles in the US.

In 1982 Michael Jackson released the world"s largest selling album of all time, "Thriller". This album produced 7 hit singles, breaking yet again more records, and went on to sell over 50 million copies worldwide. Michael was keen to use music video or short films as he called them to promote his singles from the album. He worked with the best directors and producers, using the latest technology and special effects.for the hit song "Billie Jean" The short film "Thriller" used the latest make-up artists technolgy combined with fantastic dancing and cherography, to produce a 14 minute video, with a start, a middle and an ending. So successful was this video that "The Making Of Michael Jackson"s Thriller" became the world"s largest selling home video combined with soaring album sales. In 1983 Michael performed the now legendary moonwalk for the first time on the "Motown 25 years" anniversary show. This performance alone set Michael undoubtable into the realm of a superstar. In 1984 Michael won a record breaking 8 Grammy awards in one night. The awards were for his work on the "Thriller" album and his work on the narrative for the "ET Storybook".

In 1987 Michael released his much awaited third solo album, titled "Bad", and lauched his record breaking first solo world tour. 1988, Michael wrote his first autobiography talking for the first time on his childhood and his career. At the end of the 1980s Michael was named "Artist Of The Decade" for his success off of his "Thriller" and "Bad" albums.

In 1991 Michael signed with Sony Music the largest ever recording contract and released his fourth solo album, "Dangerous". He toured world again in 1992, taking his concerts to countries that had never before been visited by a pop/rock artist. Also Michael founded the "Heal the World Foundation" to help improve the lives of children across the world.

In 1994 Michael married Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of rock legend Elvis Presley. The marriage only lasted for 19 months, as they divorced in 1996.
