I AM GOING TO FEATURE THE MUSICAL LIFE OF MR. MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON ALL WEEK IN HONOR OF HIS BIRTHDAY THIS FRIDAY. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN 56 YRS YOUNG AND A FELLOW VIRGO LKE MYSELF. Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, businessman, and philanthropist. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of Beat It, Billie Jean, and Thriller, were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. With videos such as Black or White and Scream, he continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s, as well as forging a reputation as a touring solo artist. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop, and rock artists. (wikipedia) I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I WAS A JACKSON 5 HATER WHEN THE GROUP BROKE ON THE SCENE.... ALL THE GIRLS IN MY SCHOOL AND NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WANTED TO MARRY ME.... MADE ME THEIR 6TH CHOICE AS THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH 5 BROTHERS FROM GARY, INDIANA. MY HEART WAS BROKEN FOR A LONG TIME. INDEED DAY #2 I AM GOING TO CALL THESE THE AWKWARD YEARS WHEN THE GROUP WAS GROWING UP AND MICHAELS FACE WAS CHANGING ALONG WITH HIS VOICE. HIS WORK AS THE LEAD SINGER WAS STRESSFUL ON HIS VOCAL CHORDS AS HE RECORDED SONG AFTER SONG TO SATISFY HIS FANS AND THE RECORD COMPANY. IN THIS PERIOD, JERMAINE FOUND HIS OWN PATH AND WENT SOLO, GOT MARRIED TO THE BOSSES DAUGHTER AND LEFT MICHAEL ALONE TO LEAD HIS BROTHERS. THEY MOVED AWAY FROM THE BUBBLEGUM SONGS AND STARTED TO SING MORE AND MORE ABOUT LOVE AND ITS EFFECT ON YOUNG BOYS AND THEIR PURSUIT OF YOUNG GIRLS.
