Pop King Michael Jackson revolutionized world pop music. In addition to his shocking performances with scandalous choreography and bright exclusive costumes, he unrecognizably changed his appearance, turning from a black boy into a white man. His death was a tragedy for millions of fans around the world, but in their memory he will live forever.
The birth of a star
Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Indiana (the city of Gary, USA). A talented boy became the seventh son in a family with nine children in total. When Michael was five years old, his enterprising father created a family ensemble called "Five Jackson", which was attended by four older brothers Michael and himself. Over time, it became clear that young Jackson has outstanding musical abilities, thanks to which the ensemble was noticed by famous producers who offered the lucky Jackson a serious contract.
The group continued its successful touring activities for several years, releasing six hit singles during this time.
However, the ambitiousness of Michael, who grew up and wanted to become an independent performer, making money for himself, and not for his father, suddenly became the megapopularity of the ensemble. Continuing to work in the ensemble, he writes his first solo album, which falls into the hands of the legendary producer Quincy Jones. He takes Michael under his guardianship and together they create the great album of the singer "Off the Wall", which quickly scattered in the amount of 10 million copies worldwide. So Michael Jackson becomes an adult superstar and finally leaves the family ensemble.
