(1958 – 2009)

Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, died June 25, 2009 in Los Angeles, California), often referred to as The King of Pop, is the biggest-selling solo artist of all time, with over 750,000,000 sales. Jackson is an inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and double inductee to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. His awards include 8 Guinness World Records, 13 Grammy Awards, and 26 Billboard Awards. He is also credited for popularizing many physically complicated dance moves, such as the robot and the moonwalk, and has influenced and spawned a whole generation of a wide variety of artists including Justin Timberlake, Buckethead, Mariah Carey, Usher, ICP, neyo, and Chris Brown among others.

Jackson’s musical career began in 1967 as lead singer of The Jackson 5, when the group made their first recording with a local label before signing up with Motown Records in 1968. He made his first solo recordings in 1971 while still a member of the group. But it was Off the Wall (1979) which marked the start of his full-fledged solo career, and he formally parted with his siblings in 1984. In his solo career, Jackson recorded and co-produced the best-selling album of all time, Thriller (with worldwide sales over 100 million), received thirteen Grammy awards and charted thirteen #1 singles in the U.S.

i'm guessing there is no need for us to defend Michael. there will always be some ignorant , clueless people talking trash about him. the thing is that Michael is not around any more and that's what counts.. i really don't give a damn about trolls. our love goes to you , Michael..

I can't believe some people (like kuladeandahalf) are defending pedophiles here. There's no such thing as a "cool pedophile" (I'm looking at you, kuladeandahalf). Sure, there have been geniuses and even entire civilisations that have practised pedeastry (such as the Ancient Greeks and the Spartans, although I may be exaggerating slightly), that doesn't mean you have to defend it just because they're geniuses (or whatever). Just because the Greeks did it and Michael Jackson (possibly) did it doesn't mean that pedophiles are suddenly morally infallible.

so what if michael touched little boys? there have been a lot of cool pedophiles in history, oscar wilde slept with little boys, most of the greeks did too, no reason for people to get mad when peeps say michael did. i dont care if he was a kiddie-fiddler, all the more power to him. he was a pretty kewl guy.

@Msirk: Anyone who believes that he was a pedophile know absolutely nothing about pedophiles or about the actual facts of both cases. Do yourself a favor and get educated. Either way, I never hated him. I have always respected him as an artist and was waiting for him to release a new album. Still waiting for someone to release some new material that he was working on.
