Biography of Michael Jackson 10: 0029.08.2013 (updated: 10:07 29.08.2013) 06384182
On August 29, Michael Jackson would have turned 55 years old.
The legendary American singer Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana (USA).
He was the seventh of nine children of the Jackson family.
At the age of five, Michael became a member of the family band Jackson Five and soon took the place of the lead vocalist.
In 1968, the Jackson Five signed a contract with Motown Records and recorded such hits as I Want You Back, ABC, The Love You Save and I'll Be There.
In the mid 1970s, the popularity of the Jackson Five group began to decline, and Michael's solo career began to gain momentum.
In 1977, Michael Jackson made his film debut in the musical The Wiz, which began his long term collaboration with the famous producer and composer Quincy Jones.
Together with him, Michael released the solo album Off the Wall in 1979.
The CD reached the top of the US and UK charts, and for the song Donot Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Jackson received his first Grammy statuette.
In 1982, the singer released his second album Thriller.
The album became one of the most commercially successful in the history of pop music — its circulation was 70 million copies worldwide.
The Thriller CD brought Michael seven Grammy Awards.
A video clip was shot for the main song of the same name on the album, which is believed to have marked the beginning of the active development of the music video.
In 1983, at the Motown 25 years show, Michael Jackson walked his famous "moonwalk" for the first time.
In 1987, the singer released the album Bad.
All the singles from this record reached the first lines of the charts.
The album sold 29 million copies.
In the same year, Jackson's autobiography Moonwalker ("Walking on the Moon") was published.
In 1991, Michael Jackson signed a major contract with Sony Music and released his solo album Dangerous.
The singer finally secured the status of the first star in the world of show business — his composition Black Or White became a number one hit on both sides of the ocean.
In September 1993, a concert by Michael Jackson took place in Moscow, at the Large Sports Arena of the Luzhniki Stadium.
In 1995, Jackson released the double album HIStory, which combined a disc of 15 new songs with a disc of the biggest hits.
The album has sold 7 million copies in the United States (15 million worldwide).

In 1996, Jackson's second performance in Russia took place at the Dynamo Stadium in Moscow.
In 1997, an album of dance remixes for tracks from HIStory — Blood on the Dancefloor appeared in stores.
The album Invincible, released in October 2001, contained 16 tracks, including the single You rock my world, in the video for which the legendary actor Marlon Brando starred.
In the same year, Michael recorded the song What more can I give, the proceeds from which went to charity.
In 2003, the album of Michael Jackson's greatest hits — Number Ones was released.
The only original song on this disc — One More Chance occupied the top line of the Billboard magazine chart for three weeks.
In 2004, Jackson released the anniversary edition of Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection — a five disc collection that included his most famous hits, demo recordings and an additional DVD with live recordings from the Dangerous tour.
In August 2008, Michael Jackson released an original studio album called King of Pop.
The collection consisted of compositions based on the poems of the great Scottish poet of the XVIII century, Robert Burns.
Jackson's album Thriller 25 was a great success, released in February 2008 to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the legendary album Thriller.
The new collection includes nine original songs from the old album, as well as remixes and a new song For All Time.
The CD reached the first place in the charts of eight European countries, reached the second position in the US and the third — in the British charts.
In the USA, 166 thousand copies of this disc were sold.
Michael Jackson died suddenly on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50.
As the forensic medical examination established, the cause of death of the king of pop music was an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol.
On July 7, 2009, a memorial ceremony was held at the Staples Sports and Entertainment Complex in Los Angeles to say goodbye to Michael Jackson.
On September 3, 2009, he was buried at the Glendale Forest Lawn Cemetery near Los Angeles.
At the end of November 2011, an American court sentenced Michael Jackson's former personal doctor Conrad Murray to four years in prison for manslaughter.
According to investigators, Murray gave the musician an excessive dose of the drug propofol, which, in interaction with other drugs, including sedatives, caused the singer's death.
During the creative career of Michael Jackson, the total circulation of his albums amounted to 750 million copies worldwide.
Jackson's album Thriller remains the best selling album of all time, four more albums (Off the Wall, Bad, Dangerous and HIStory) are among the best selling in the world.
Michael Jackson was the winner of more than 350 music awards, including 15 Grammy Awards (14 awards for his solo career and one award - as part of the Jackson Five).
Jackson is one of the few musicians twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as part of the Jackson Five collective and as a solo artist).
Michael Jackson was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most successful artist of all time.
Jackson's album Thriller was also included in the Guinness Book of Records as the best selling album of all time.
During his life, Michael Jackson went through many plastic surgeries, some of which he had to do because of a rare genetic skin disease vitiligo (characterized by the development of white spots).
Jackson's skin began to lighten since the 1980s.
The singer denied that he deliberately wants to change the color of his skin.
Jackson's health was undermined not only by frequent illnesses and operations.
Michael Jackson appeared in court twice on charges of molesting young boys — in 1993 and 2003.
The first case was closed due to insufficient evidence.
According to the assumptions of the "yellow" press, Jackson simply bought off his parents.
As a result of the second trial, Jackson was completely acquitted.
Michael Jackson was repeatedly sued by his business partners.
Michael Jackson was married twice.
The first time was on Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Maria Presley.
The marriage did not last long, from 1994 to 1996, but the stars remained friends.
In 1996, Michael Jackson married former nurse Debbie Rowe.
During the three years of marriage, they had two children: son Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Sr. (1997) and daughter Paris Michael Catherine Jackson (1998).
Jackson's third child, Prince Michael Jackson II (2002), was born from a surrogate mother.
