Michael Joseph Jackson (* 29. August 1958 in Gary, Indiana; † 25. Juni 2009 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Sänger, Komponist, Tänzer und Entertainer. Mit weltweit mehr als 750 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern[1] ist Jackson laut Guinness-Buch der Rekorde der erfolgreichste Entertainer aller Zeiten[2] und wird King of Pop genannt. Posthum verkauften sich bereits weitere 33 Millionen seiner Alben.[3] Zudem war er für seine karitativen Aktivitäten bekannt. So ist er im Guinness-Buch als der Popstar, der an die meisten Organisationen gespendet hatte, aufgeführt.
Jackson wurde bereits als Kind Teil der in den 1970er-Jahren populären Band The Jackson Five. Als Solokünstler veröffentlichte er 1982 mit Thriller das bis heute weltweit meistverkaufte Album. Ebenfalls weltweiten Erfolg hatte er mit den Alben Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), HIStory (1995) und Invincible (2001).
Michael Joseph Jackson[1] (August 29, 1958 -- June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, dancer, singer-songwriter, musician, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.
In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style have influenced numerous hip hop, pop, contemporary R&B, and rock artists.
Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995), were also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the first (and currently only) dancer from the world of pop and rock 'n' roll. Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards (as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award); 26 American Music Awards (more than any other artist, including the "Artist of the Century"); 13 number-one singles in the United States in his solo career (more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era); and the estimated sale of over 750 million records worldwide. Jackson won hundreds of awards, which have made him one of the most-awarded recording artists in the history of music. He was also a notable humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising hundreds of millions of dollars for beneficial causes and supporting more than 39 charities.
