 Michael Jackson's HIStory


Well, what can one say about someone who started his career at 5 years of age and even then garnered adulation as much as an established star? That was just one of the humble achievements of Michael Jackson, the unbeaten King of Pop. Here’s a run through HIStory!

Michael was born on the 29th of August, 1958 in Gary, Indiana. His parents were working class African-American folks. Though his father was a guitarist, he had to hang up his boots to work as a crane operator in order to provide for his wife and 9 kids, Michael being the 7th child. The era of Michael’s magic began in 1964 when he was 5, and the lead singer of a band Jackson 5, formed by his brothers, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and himself. The band would play the same clubs as biggies like Jackie Wilson. Four years after their formation, the Bobby Taylor and The Vancouvers discovered Jackson 5 and got them an audition for Motown Records. Their singles, "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There" were declared US No1 hits. The Jackson 5 then recorded 14 albums and Michael recorded 4 solo albums with Motown.

In 1976, The Jackson 5 decided to move on and signed up with Epic. The group renamed The Jacksons (their name before Jackson 5). Youngest brother Randy replaced Jermaine and the Jacksons made 6 albums till 1984. Michael made his first film debut in 1977 with the musical 'The Wiz' playing Scarecrow with Diana Ross. Michael met Quincy Jones there, who did the score for the film. This collaboration resulted in his successful album "Off The Wall", the first ever album to release a record breaking 4 No1 singles in the US.

There on, success just followed. In 1982 saw the world's largest selling album of all time, 'Thriller', which produced 7 hit singles, and sold over 50 million copies worldwide! Michael worked with the best directors and producers to make music videos (short films, as he called them) for promoting his singles, especially 'Billie Jean' and 'Thriller'. Not just the single but also 'The Making Of Michael Jackson's Thriller' became the world's largest selling home video combined with soaring album sales.

In 1983 was the year when the super famous moonwalk came into being, when Michael performed it for the first time on the 'Motown 25 years' anniversary show. A year later, in 1984, Michael won a record breaking 8 Grammy awards in one night. December 9, 1984, saw the last concert of the Jacksons’ Victory Tour. Michael split from the group and went solo. 1987 saw the release of his eagerly-awaited third solo album, 'Bad', and went on his first solo world tour. 1988, Michael wrote his first autobiography, in which he spoke on his childhood and career for the first time. The end of the 1980s marked Michael as 'Artist of the Decade', for the success of 'Thriller' and 'Bad'.

Michael’s fourth album Dangerous came in 1991, when he signed with Sony Music, the largest ever recording contract. He did a world tour again in 1992, and took his concerts to new territories never before visited by any artist. The same year Michael founded the 'Heal the World Foundation' to help improve the lives of children across the world. Michael married Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of rock legend Elvis Presley in 1994. The marriage only lasted for 19 months, as they divorced in 1996.

Michael’s fifth solo album, 'HIStory' came in 1995; it was a double album - first half containing new material and the second half a compilation of greatest hits. What followed was a 2 year long tour. On November 14th, 1996, Michael married for the second time to Debbie Rowe, a nurse who he met while getting a treatment for his skin pigment disorder. They had their first child Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. on February 13, 1997 and daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson on April 3rd 1998. Michael released the remix album 'Blood On The Dance Floor' in 1997. This contained 5 new songs linked with a 38min film "Ghosts". Michael played 5 roles in this using the latest special effects and make-up artistry, combined with his dance and music.

Michael celebrated his 30th anniversary as a solo artist in September 2001, with two concerts to be held in New York, USA. Biggies like Whitney Houston, Usher, Destiny’s Child, and Shaggy performed their original and Michael Jackson’s songs. Michael reunited with all of his brothers and performed their biggest hits, followed by his biggest solo hits. In October 2001 Michael released the album 'Invincible' so far releasing only 2 singles including the big hit "You Rock My World".

The almost four-decade long career ended abruptly and tragically. As MJ passed away, he was apparently in a debt of $ 500 million. He was meant to embark on another world tour that would have got him $ 50 million. But, guess that was not to be! MJ has moonwalked back in History!

 We will remember the time, M J, when you ruled the pop world!

The moon walk, the 'woo hoo', the sequined white gloves, he was a dancing dream... And now the King of Pop has joined the dream world himself, as he lay to rest forever, at a young age of 50. But then, legends don't die! So Michael Jackson will live forever!

Michael Jackson, Whacko Jacko, MJ, the King of Pop... call him what you may. The single soul behind it all was one star who didn't need an introduction. You didn't need to know English music. You didn't need to even know the English language. But you knew who MJ was, and all his moves and grooves too.

MJ said, 'I wanna rock with you', and the world rocked with him. Michael has been a 'Smooth Criminal' and the 'Bad' boy and led a 'Dangerous' life too. But everyone will 'Remember the time' when MJ ruled the music and dance world. Now 'The Man in the Mirror' has jumped 'Off the Wall' and will always be missed. Whether it was the 'Stranger in Moscow', Drity Diana', the 'Liberian Girl', 'Billie Jean', or people 'Black or white', when he said, 'Give in to me', everyone just followed. He said 'Wanna be starting something', and there was 'Blood on the dance floor'.

Now that MJ has become part of the HIStory, the whole world is going to miss him. And the MJ fever will never be over... It's too high to be over!

Rest in Peace, MJ!
