Biography

Michael Joseph Jackson, born on the 29th of August 1958 in Gary, Indiana, was a true prince of the entertainment industry. His regal roots can be traced back to his father, Joe Jackson, a distinguished guitarist who passed on his musical ambitions to his beloved wife, Katherine Jackson, and their growing family. Michael, a musical prodigy, was the leader of the Jackson 5, whose talents and energy caught the eye of the great Berry Gordy, who welcomed them to Motown. Their success was due in large part to the remarkable Gladys Knight, who brought the group to Gordy's attention. Michael's legacy will carry on through his timeless music and performances, a true testament to his royal status in the entertainment world.
