Michael Jackson, known as the "King of Pop," was a legendary American singer, songwriter, and dancer born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, USA. He rose to fame as a member of the Jackson 5, a group formed with his brothers. His solo career began in the late 1970s, and his album "Off the Wall" (1979) marked a shift towards his iconic solo career.

However, his global stardom reached its peak with the release of "Thriller" in 1982, which became the best-selling album of all time. The album produced numerous hits like "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller." Jackson's innovative music videos, especially for "Thriller," became iconic in the history of popular music.

His impact extended beyond music; he was a groundbreaking dancer, introducing moves like the moonwalk. Jackson's influence on fashion, dance, and music is still widely acknowledged. Over time, his personal life, including legal issues and controversies, often overshadowed his musical legacy. He passed away on June 25, 2009, leaving behind an enduring legacy as one of the greatest entertainers in history.
