In pop music, Michael Jackson is the king. He is the greatest superstar of the 20th century. Jackson was born in 1958 to a poor family in Indiana, U.S. He had nine brothers and sisters.
When Jackson was just 6 years old, his father started a band with Michael and four of his other
sons: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon. They became the Jackson 5, one of the most popular bands of the 1960s.
Jackson’s solo career started to take off in the 1970s. And it reached greater heights than any other musician’s in history. His 1982 album, Thriller, became the best selling album of all time. It also won eight Grammy awards.
What made Jackson’s music so popular? His lyrics may not be as poetic as someone like Bob Dylan. But if you listen closely to Jackson’s music, you can hear that he uses more than just words. His shouts, cries and gasps (倒抽气) all add meaning to his music. They show feelings
that words alone cannot. He is also famous for his very high voice. He used his voice to copy instruments.
Jackson had another special performance: the Moonwalk. This was a smooth dance of him walking backward. It looks very easy but is actually hard to copy – although lots of people have tried!
Michael Jackson was famous for his look as much as his music. Jackson was African-American. It means that he had brown skin during his childhood. As he grows older, however, his skin started to become lighter. And by the time of his death he was much whiter.
The real reason for the changes in Jackson’s look was never clear. While he was very public about his music, he was very private about his health.
As with so many famous people, there have been some dark sides, too. In the 1990s and 2000s, there were charges (指控) of sexual assault (性侵犯) against Jackson. But when Jackson died in 2009, what people remembered most was his music.
