Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all-time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture.

Five of Jackson's solo albums - "Off the Wall," "Thriller," "Bad," "Dangerous" and "HIStory," all with Epic Records - are among the top-sellers of all time and “Thriller” holds the distinction as the largest selling album worldwide in the history of the recording industry with more than 70 million units sold. Additionally, singles released from the Thriller album sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, another all time record.

During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and "Thriller" as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award.

Michael Jackson started in the music business at the age of 11 with his brothers as a member of the Jackson 5. In the early 1980s, he defined the art form of music video with such ground-breaking videos as "Billie Jean," "Beat It" and the epic "Thriller." Jackson's sound, style and dance moves inspired subsequent generations of pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists.

Re: I Love Facebook's little summary on Michal

awww..thank you for posting that...they got a fact wrong though...they say Michael was 11 when he started out...he was 5. But it nice to see Michael getting some positive recognition for once.
 
yeah, by the time he was 11 they had already signed with Motown . . . the group's second recording contract. That always blows me away. J5 was not "manufactured" and worked their way up through the usual performance driven route despite the fact that their lead singer wasn't even 10 years old.

WELL SAID!!!!:agree:
 
That is very nice and so true. People should never ignore this. Itunes are not nice at all. Since I started buying music I was reading their summaries and they are not nice about Michael. I was really taken back by it.
