Michael Jackson was born August 29th, 1958. If we were to ad 15 years to 1958, we end up in 1973. Not too much happened around then, besides his solo career was getting started in 1971. Now, if you didn't know exactly who/what Michael Jackson did, he was an amazing American singer, songwriter, recored producer, dancer and actor. Michael Jackson was the King of Pop!! Starting in the 1980's, Jackson became a dominant figure in pop music. With his big hit "Thriller" and "Beat it", that helped bring MTV to fame. With all his success it brought him to be well known and for the whole world to know who he was. Michael Jackson, grew up and was born in Gary, Indiana also was the 8th child out of 10. The house he grew up in was a two bedroom two bathroom. With growing up with so many siblings and with no room, that was probably a reason he wanted to make a name for himself. Gary, Indiana was an industrial city and part of the Chicago metropolitan area. Mainly, another reason it was easy to live in that area is, it is where historic native americans have inhabited Indiana for thousands of years. I think a pivotal moment in his life would be becoming famous in Jackson 5, and realizing he can really make himself into something and decided to go solo. Michael Jackson did a whole awful lot in his lifetime,not just for himself but for America too. Also, here i put the music video to very popular song "Thriller"!
Maddie, That tiny little house in Gary, Indiana might explain the Neverland Ranch. Also, I cannot imagine anyone not knowing Michael Jackson.
ReplyDeletePURE greatness. I can count on one hand how many people where dominant or just as dominant in there careers just like Michael Jackson. Selling hundreds of millions of records, and concert tickets, and merchandise, the numbers where just unreal. Watching the Jackson 5 movie had me realize how hard work can pay off. His dad was very hard on him and made him who he was today. Exactly why his name goes down as one of the greatest entertainers ever. Great Pick.
