Singer and songwriter Michael Joseph Jackson, was born on August 29th, 1958 in Gary Indiana to parents Joseph and Katherine Jackson.
Michael came into toon buisness at a young age. At age 5, his father, Joe Jackson, beleived that his sons had great talent, so in the early 1960's,he created a muziek group. The group had Michael, and his brothers Tito, Jermaine, and Jackie. Then Michael's brother Marlon joined the group. They were named, "The Jackson 5."
The Jackson 5 signed a record deal with Motown Records in 1968. The Jackson 5's first album, "Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5," was released in December of 1969.
Years later, the Jackson 5 became known as, "The Jacksons." They soon signed a record deal with Epic Records.
Michael went solo later in his life. He released "Off The Wall" in 1979. It included the songs of "Don't Stop Till' u Get Enough" and "Rock With You."
But no one can ever forget Michael's album, "Thriller," which was released in 1982. Thriller included populair songs, "Billie Jean," and "Beat It." Thriller is the best-selling album of all time, selling meer albums then any other artisit.
In 1985, Michael co-wrote and performed the song, "We Are The World." It was sung with other artists like straal, ray Charles, Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and many others. "WE Are The World" was a charity single for "USA for Africa."
In 1987, Michael released "Bad." "Bad" featured populair songs "Smooth Criminal," "The Way u Make Me Feel," and "Man In The Mirror." Even though "Bad" was released after the best seller, "Thriller," "Bad" did not do as well as "Thriller" did, but was still a great album.
In the late 1980's, Michael bought a ranch in California and named it "Neverland Ranch." "Neverland Ranch" included rides, and animals, such as Michael's chimp, Bubbles. Also in the late 1980's, rumors swriled around that Michael was lightening the color of his skin to appear meer white, and also that he slept in a chamber that increased his life-span.
In 1991, Michael released "Dangerous." "Dangerous" included the populair song, "Black of White."
In 1993, Michael was accused of child molestation. A 13-year-old boy claimed that Michael fondld him. The police searched Michael's ranch, but found no evidence to support the 13 year-old's claim.
In August of 1994, Michael married Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie. This shocked many fans, and many people didn't think their marriage would last, but those fans were right, the marriage didn't last. In 1996, Lisa Marie and Michael divorced.
Back in 1995, Michael had released his album, "HIStory: Past Present and Future: Book 1." This album had populair songs such as "Earth Song," "You Are Not Alone," and "They Don't Care About Us."
Later Michael married nurse Debbie Rowe in November of 1996. They had two children together, a son, Prince Michael Jackson I, who was born in 1997, and a daughter, Paris Katherine Michael Jackson, who was born in 1998. Then in 1999, Michael and Debie divorced. Michael received full custody of both of their children.
In 2001, Michael released his last album, "Invincible." This album featured the populair song, "You Rock My World."
In February of 2002, Michael had anoth son, Prince Michael Jackson II (nicknamed "Blanket,") with an unkown woman.
In 2004, Michael was charged again with child molestation, and other things. The trial lasted about a year. But on June 14th, 2005, Michael was found not guilty of all his charges. Soon after the trial was over, he left "Neverland Ranch."
In March of 2009, Michael announced that he would be performing for the last time in London starting July 8th, 2009. The tour was titled, "This Is It." The tour was suppose to be only 10 shows, but then was added 40 meer shows.
Sadly, on June 25, 2009, Michael went in to cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home pagina around noon. Then, at 2:26 pacific time, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at Ronald Reagan Medical Center at age 50. In 13 days, Michael was suppose to start his London tour.
On July 7th, 2009, family, friends, and fans of Michael Jackson's came for a final goodbye to the King of Pop at The Staples Center in Los Angeles, where Michael had rehersed days before his death. Performers included Mariah Carey, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, Shaheen Jafargholi,Usher, and Michael's brother, Jermaine Jackson. Speakers included Brooke Sheilds, Berry Gordy, Al Sharpton, and Michael's brother, Marlon Jackson, but no one could ever forget when Michael's only daughter, Paris Jackson, spoke a few words about her daddy.
June 25 is a dag all Michael Jackson fans will never forget. But even though Michael is not with us today, he is always, in our hearts.
RIP Michael Jackson 1958-2009 <3

The world was in great depression,
the custody for your kids was in session.
There was too much buzz around,
all I wanted to hear your voice your sound.
I wish u hadn't gone,
all u had to do was sing one meer song.
I'm writing this to you.
your death has made me blue.
Why did u pass on June 25, 2009?
"This is it" last concert then u had to resign.
On my continuation my friend
told me u had passed u were dead.
God decided he needed you,
I respected the things u used to do.
Your songs were good, great,
to me and the muziek world u were a saint.
Jesus decided he wanted u my friend,
u and I know that your muziek is not at an end.
The world kept talking about him,
the planet and the sun now seemed a little less bright, dim.
Goodbye u were a story, a light,
see u later and when I see you, u will be a sight.

Michael Jackson fans making extravagant plans for the anniversary of his death need a Plan B -- because Forest Lawn Cemetery and cops are putting the kibosh on most of the celebration.
A rep for Forest Lawn -- where MJ is buried -- tells TMZ fans will be allowed into the park on June 25, but not into the mausoleum itself. And the news ain't so good for these special requests:
- Releasing doves (DENIED)
- Releasing balloons (DENIED)
- Performing Jackson songs and dance routines (DENIED)
Sgt. Tom Lorenz says the Glendale PD has its own no-no list: no camping out the night before, no parking around Forest Lawn 24 hours prior, and no straat vendor sales of anything ... including MJ merchandise.
The Forest Lawn rep says fans who behave will be allowed to pay their respects.

TMZ has learned Katherine Jackson and Michael Jackson's three kids will not be in L.A. to commemorate the one-year anniversary of MJ's death.
Sources connected with the family tell TMZ the gang will be at Michael's birthplace -- Gary, Indiana -- where they will observe the day.
We're told Katherine is set on Gary because she feels it is a "family point of connection" -- and it's just too crazy in L.A.
Our sources say Katherine, Prince, Paris, and Blanket will keep things private with relatives and vrienden in Gary.

And then she wrote
"Michael, I love you
I've held tears back long as I can
I'm sealing my feelings in this envelope
Cause I wanna be meer than just your number one fan
I'm gonna answer your letter
I'll start beginning with the ABCs of loving you
Your letter really touched my heart
I've been dreaming of meeting the picture
That u sent along, signed with all your love
(Michael, Michael)
(I want you)
(She wrote)
I'm gonna write u back
Ooh, I promise u that
Girl, I think I love you
Hurry, hurry Mr Postman

Hurry, hurry Mr Postman
Take my letter

Certainly the will stipulates that the money, the children will get when they reach 30 years of age. door then, of course, the interest amount will exceed 300 million dollars!! Not bad ...
The mother of Michael Jackson gets 40% of its assets, while the remainder will go to charitable institutions.
Naturally, Jacko did not leave anything to his father, which had no good relationships, but none of the siblings.
