Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on the 29th of August 1958, In Gary, Indiana. His father, Joseph Jackson, was a guitarist but put that to aside to provide his family as a crane operator. His father believed that his sons had talent so he modeled them into a musical group in the early 1960s. At first the Jackson Family performers had only Michael’s older brothers and Michael had joined in at the age of 5, and was the group’s lead vocalist. All the Jacksons boys were in the group and made the ‘Jackson 5’. Joseph Jackson pushed his sons to succeed and was even violent with them. They all spent hours rehearsing. At first the only played local gigs, then they made their own singles like ‘Big Boy’ and ‘You’ve changed’ but they failed to get any interest. They started doing opening acts for R&B groups. They moved to Los Angeles and the Jackson 5 started working on their music and dancing. In 1969, Jackson 5 was introduced to the music industry. Michael grew quickly into super stardom due to Jackson 5. However the KING of music is now dead.
