A little tidbit about our dear King of Pop:
Michael Joseph Jackson, born August 29, 1958 and is the seventh child of the Jackson family. He debuted in the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of the Jackson 5. He's well known for his ever changing features from year to year and unbeatable dance moves. He popularized the dance moves that we call the moonwalk and the robot.
His songs like "Beat it", "Pretty young thing", "ABC (with the Jackson 5)", "Billie Jean", "Black or white" and "Smooth Criminal". His work and distinctive style has influenced many singers to date. He has 3 children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. (also known as "Prince"), a daughter, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II (also known as Blanket). He is the ultimate performer and the world might not see anything like him ever. His legacy shall live on.
