He was given the title the “King of Pop”, for an excellent reason; he captured many eyes, including mine, because of his ecstatic energy in his musical performances on stage, his amazing and eye-catching dance moves which were smooth and synced with the song. He was also writing lyrics for his own song as well, which are deep and full of meaning if you understand the lyrics well. In many ways, his legacy has altered and created a new style of pop, and he was the most successful musician-dancer of his generation.
Michael Jackson was born into a family of musicians. His parents and all his nine siblings are musicians. When he turned six, he joined a music band and became the star member of the pop band known as the “Jackson Five”, which was formed by his family, and at the time became a very popular pop band in America. But his early fame cost him his childhood. He was forced to grow up too fast and as a result, his psychological development became hindered. He had retained certain childish qualities and behaviours well into adulthood because of this.
Michael Jackson changed pop music in many ways. He was one of the pioneers of music videos, like “Thriller”, which was a masterpiece, and had nearly 60 million albums sold worldwide. Thriller still retains its title as the biggest-selling record of all time. At the time, there were simply no other producers that could make music videos like Michael. It was very unique and is still played very often today.
On June 25 2009, he diesd at the age of 50 at his home in Los Angeles California, after suffering from cardiac arrest caused by a fatal combination of drugs given to him by his personal doctor.
In the end, all his contributions made significant developments in pop music, video dance and fashion. He holds 15 grammy awards and hundreds of other prizes. He was listed 13 times in the Guinness Book of Records, and his songs still continue to inspire and entertain billions of people throughout the world.
