'The King of Pop' Michael Jackson (1958-2009) entertained audiences nearly his entire life. He started very young in the Jackson 5 and solo he recorded the biggest-selling album of all time, 'Thriller' (1982). He appeared in the film The Wiz (1978), but he was more successful with his elaborate music videos, directed by such famous filmmakers as John Landis, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola.
Michael Joseph Jackson was born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joe Jackson (no relation to Joe Jackson, also a musician), had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Michael's mother Katherine Jackson (née Katherine Esther Scruse). Together, they prodded their growing family's musical interests at home. Michael was the brother of Rebbie Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, La Toya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson, and Janet Jackson. By the early 1960s, Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine had begun performing around the city. By 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined in. A musical prodigy, Michael's singing, and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of the Jackson 5. An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group to Berry Gordy's attention, By 1969, the boys were producing back-to-back chart-busting hits for Motown as 'I Want You Back', 'ABC', 'Never Can Say Goodbye', 'Got to Be There', etc. As a product of the 1970s, the boys emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop/soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a group like The Temptations to a disco phenomenon. He was originally intended to begin his solo career when he turned eighteen in 1976, but financial problems forced him to remain with the Jackson Five, renaming themselves The Jacksons for legals reasons, until 1979.
Solo success for Michael Jackson was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. He was the first solo artist to generate four top ten hits on the Billboard charts on one album with his debut solo album 'Off the Wall' (1979). It sold around 20 million copies worldwide. This success culminated in the biggest-selling album of all time, 'Thriller' (1982) with sales of over 100 million copies worldwide. The album generated seven top ten hits in the USA. With his next album, 'Bad' (1987), he even generated five #1 hits in the USA. He was the highest-earning singer of 1988-1989, with $125 million from his worldwide 'Bad' album tour. A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as playing the Scarecrow opposite Diana Ross as Dorothy in The Wiz (Sidney Lumet, 1978), but he had much better luck with elaborate music videos. Jackson hired film director Martin Scorsese to direct the video for the "Bad" album's title track. When the 18-minute music video debuted on television, it sparked a great deal of controversy as it was apparent that Jackson's appearance had changed dramatically. Starting with 'Michael Jackson: Black or White' (1991), Jackson and his record company referred to his music videos as "short films," never "videos". His video for 'Michael Jackson: Thriller' (1983), which was directed by John Landis, is widely regarded as one of the greatest music videos of all time. In the 1990s, the downside as a 1980s pop phenomenon began to rear itself. Michael grew terribly child-like and introverted by his peerless celebrity. A rather timorous, androgynous figure to begin with, his physical appearance began to change drastically. In 1993 Jackson claimed that his changing skin color is due to a skin disorder vitiligo whilst on The Oprah Winfrey Show. His behaviour grew alarmingly bizarre, making him a consistent target for scandal-making, despite his numerous charitable acts. Two brief marriages - to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley (1994-1996) and to Debbie Rowe (1996-1999) - were forged. He had two children with his second wife. The purposes behind these marriages appeared image-oriented. In November 2002, Jackson shocked his fans when he dangled his third child, infant Bigi Jackson, over a balcony on the fourth floor of a Berlin, Germany hotel for all hovering fans to see. Michael Jackson died in 2009 in Los Angeles, California. His death triggered an outpouring of grief. Fans gathered outside the UCLA Medical Center, his Holmby Hills home, the Apollo Theater in New York, and at Hitsville U.S.A., the old Motown headquarters in Detroit where his career began, now the Motown Museum. Streets around the hospital were blocked off, and across America people left offices and factories to watch the breaking news on television. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "His passion and artistry as a singer, dancer, writer, and businessman were unparalleled, and it is these prodigious talents that will ultimately prevail over the extremely negative aspects of his troubled adult life." Michael Jackson sold over 750 million albums worldwide.

so i can't sleep and caught another michael jackson tribute on tv. his sudden and tragic death reminded me of what has happened to elvis who is probably more popular and making more money now than when he was alive. so i went over to iTunes and as you can see from the screen grabs, michael jackson is pretty much dominating both the singles and album categories. seems that people and his fans are trying to reconnect with him. i can't speak for everyone but for me, it was sort of sad to see what had happened the last 15 years to him, but i think i will just always remember him as a kid growing up in the 80s as just an unbelievably amazing artist who was so unique. there was no one like him, no one danced like him, or sang like him, or made music videos like him.
i remember talking earlier to a friend and saying that a lot of celebrities have passed away and a lot of them were either not from my generation or just people i wasn't too familiar with... so i guess the death of michael jackson has probably affected me more than any other i've experienced in my lifetime. i think i was still in shock for about a day when i first heard about it but the more i think about it, the more of these retrospective videos i watch, and the more i listen to his music again, the more i start realizing that he's truly gone and he really will be missed... but never forgotten.
i do feel a bit weird about posting my thoughts about everything with a screen shot of itunes but until i get out to his star on the hollywood walk of fame, it will have to do.

BAD - Michael Jackson/ grooveshark.com/s/Bad/3dES0w?src=5
As we all know, the king of Pop just died recently. But his music will live forever. We all grew up with the beat of his songs and dance moves. Now it's time for us to remember and cherish his past for the new generation.
So I decided to make this artwork in dedication to Michael Jackson. This will be also a free wallpaper to download soon.
He is the legend. We are his legacy.

Actually this is the first idea popping into my head while I saw the LEGO IDEAS contest about music. I wanted to build MJ performing his iconic moonwalk. Due to IP concern it is a predictable result that my entry can not be approved in submission stage. I still love this build and enjoy figuring out the mechanism. See the video and hope you like it.
This is a Michael Jackson memorial tombstone in Detroit, MI, home of Motown music, where the Jackson Five got their start. Fan offerings are closely monitored. The Detroit Police brought two hearses carrying stuffed animals left around the city for Michael to this grave site to clean up the city's streets, where fans had been leaving the stuffed animals across the city. You can read about that incident (plus see photos and a video) here:
