Remember when: Michael Jackson used to be the "King of Pop"
The "King of Pop" was the title given to Michael Jackson when he first debuted his solo career at age 11. Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana. After The Jackson 5 family group split up, Michael took his frustration and grief to the recording studios and produced music that even today's artists couldn't compare to. 5 of his albums are charted as some of the world's greatest selling pop albums such as Off The Wall(1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995). "Jackson has donated and raised several hundred million dollars for beneficial causes, through his Dangerous World Tour, charity singles and support of thirty-nine charities. However other aspects of his personal life has generated significant controversy; plastic surgery, a lightening skin tone due to vitiligo and eccentric behavior have damaged his reputation among the public. He was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, although the matter was settled out of court. Jackson was tried, and later acquitted, of further child molestation allegations and several other charges in 2005. Jackson has been the subject of long term financial difficulties and health concerns." Michael Jackson has been indited into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
