Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, dancer, singer-songwriter, and philanthropist.
Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records.His contribution to music,
dance and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. M.J.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 "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller", were credited
with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to
fame. Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory
(1995), also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also
inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the firs dancer from the world of pop and rock 'n' roll. Some of his other achievements include multiple
Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards (as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award); 26 American Music Awards (more than any other
