¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, and he was the eighth of the ten children. Michael¡¯s father, Mr Jackson realized that his sons had a lot of talents, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days, there were lots of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were different from others, they would have to be the best. Their group later became the Jackson Five. Michael Jackson was the lead singer of the five in the team.
Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practiced! Soon the group was much better than others. When the Jacksons took their first professional (רҵµÄ) job, their total pay was only five dollars! But they kept on. They played at important parties. They entered big competitions. They worked at various clubs. Five Jackson boys first performed together at a talent show when Michael was six, and they walked off with the first prize. Then name of this group began to get around.
When Michael was only 11 years old, he became the star. The young boy rose to become the ¡°King of Pop¡±. Later on, Michael got a chance to do some solo (¶À³ª) songs. He made his first solo album (³ªÆ¬) in 1972. It just didn¡¯t seem possible that so much talent could come from such a young performer. For the following years, Michael was always on the top among the popular singers. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million.
When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his acting career. ¡°I plan to star in movies,¡± he told his friends, ¡°but of course, my first love is music¡±. Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. Whatever he did, it worked! Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. ¡°I just do a different job from other people,¡± he said, ¡°but it doesn¡¯t make me think I¡¯m better than other people,¡± For anyone who wants to be successful, the road to success is a long hard one to travel.
In 1994, Michael married Lisa Marie, but the marriage ended in 1996. He married Debbie Rowe the same year and had two children. The couple never lived together after 1999. Jackson had three children named Prince Michael I, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II. Michael Jackson died after suffering a heart attack. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over forty years.
