Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, dancer, entertainer, and
recording artist. Referred to as the King of Pop, he is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time, and
as one of the most influential. His contributions to music, dance and fashion,[1] and a much-publicized personal life,
made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
Alongside his brothers, Jackson made his debut as the lead singer and youngest member of The Jackson 5 in
1964. He would later start his solo career in 1971. His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album ever,
having sold more than 110 million copies, while several of his other albums rank among the world's best-selling. He
is credited with having elevated the music video from a mere promotional tool into an art form: His videos for Billie
Jean, Beat It and Thriller made him the first African American artist to amass a strong crossover following on MTV.
Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His
distinctive musical style, vocal style, and choreography continue to be recognized across generational, racial, and
cultural boundaries.
