2. About Michael Jackson Michael Jackson was born August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana to Joe and Katherine Jackson. Michael was the 5 th of nine children. Joe worked at a steel plant and had always dreamed of becoming a musician but his dream failed. He then decided to do whatever it took to make successes of his children. He tried to control their careers and lives even after they were adults. The struggle was a big conflict for the Jacksons. By the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city. In 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined the group. The Jackson boys soon formed a family band that became a success at amateur shows and talent contests throughout the Midwest.

3. The Jacksons' popularity began to spread. While performing at the Apollo Theater in New York City's Harlem neighborhood in 1968, recording artist Gladys Knight and Billy Taylor discovered them. With Diana Ross’ help The Jackson 5 signed a contract with Motown Records. Berry Gordy; the famous head of Motown, took control of the Jacksons' careers. As The Jackson 5 made a big success Michael soon quite the group and went solo.

Michael Jackson will be remembered as the greatest musician in history and not only a musician a sweet, kind-hearted, loving and gorgeous person.

6. My Favorite Song My favorite song by Michael Jackson is ‘Human Nature’ and ‘This Is It’ but Human Nature is my favorite. I like Human Nature because of the beat and lyrics. The Lyrics are very graceful and its like a love song. The beat is really smooth and I think you can dedicate this song to your crush or someone special.
