  Michael Jackson was born in
Indiana on August 29, 1958 the seventh of
nine children. The self-proclaimed "King
of Pop" grew up in one of the most
popular singing groups in the 70s, became a
legendary solo performer in the 80s, and
metamorphosed into one of the most
controversial and freakish figures of the
90s. Although controversy and rumors persist
about Jackson "the man," Jackson
"the artist" can be considered a
legend in the field and a genius of musical
creativity.
At age 5, Jackson was the lead
singer of his brother's group, The Jackson 5. The group became huge
in 1970 on the Motown label with several #1
hits on pop and R&B radio. In the early
70s, Jackson also found solo success (and his
first cover on Rolling
Stone in 1971) with
his songs "Got To Be There,"
"Rockin' Robin," and his first solo
#1 hit, "Ben" from the LPs, Got
To Be There and Ben released in 1972,
and Music
& Me released in 1973.
In 1972, Jackson won 2 Billboard Awards for
Singles Artist of the Year and Male Singles
Artist of the Year and a Golden Globe Award
for "Ben." Throughout the 70s,
Jackson continued to sing with his brother as
The Jacksons and another solo LP in 1975,
Forever
Michael. In 1978,
Jackson took a turn at acting when he played
the scarecrow in the movie musical The
Wiz.
    
 August 10: Jackson's solo
success began to explode with the release of Off
The Wall. Jackson became one of
the few artists (at that time) to have 4 Top
10 singles from the same LP. The LP included
2 #1 hits, "Rock With You" and "Don't
Stop Till You Get Enough" as well as 2
more Top 10 hits: "Off
The Wall" and "She's
Out Of My Life." Off
The Wall eventually sold over 7 million
copies in the U.S. and was Jackson's first
major collaboration with Quincy Jones.

Jackson's career. An awkward kiss between the
two at the MTV Music Awards and a tame
interview with Diane Sawyer on TV would show
the couple as loving only with their halting
comments, and seldom with their body
language. The marriage ended 18 months later.

label, MJJ Music and has since signed the
acts including Brownstone
and 3T.

I'm.. I'm not even interested in that."
Jackson also stated: "I have never
invited anyone into my bed, ever. Children

want."

 May 11: Jackson released a
dance remix LP with some new tunes, Blood
On The Dance Floor - History In The Mix. There was not
elaborate hype to support the LP's release,
and the LP was a major disappointment in
sales in the U.S. - not reaching platinum
status. Several factors were hypothesized:
are dance remix LPs ever successful? should
there have been more pre-release hype? was
the material just thrown together? does
America no longer support Jackson's claims of
innocence? or is the U.S. just tired of the
"King Of Pop"? Jackson did have
some success overseas with the singles "Blood On The Dance
Floor"
and "Stranger In Moscow."
Blood
On The Dance Floor - History In The Mix topped the UK Album
charts for a week.
Thriller was certified 25x
platinum and Blood

A mental patient who escaped
from a hospital reported attempted to set
fire to a stage where Jackson was to perform
in Finland. The man was caught after
allegedly pouring gasoline on the stage and
as he was ready to light the structure. The
concert went on as scheduled after it was
determined the man acted alone.
In a rare interview, Jackson
talked with 20/20's Barbara Walters
about the recent death of Princess Diana and
subsequent controversy over paparazzi.
Jackson stated, "I've been running for
my life like that..." referring to the
recent death of Princess Diana. Jackson
cancelled his concert appearance the night of
the news, and dedicated his next two concert
performances to Princess Diana. Jackson said
he heard of Princess Diana's death when
"...my doctor gave me the news... and I
fell back down in grief ... and I started to
cry." Jackson also stated that he had a
feeling another death was also coming soon,
and he feared it would be him: "I said,
'There's another one... real soon... I feel
it coming ... there's another one ... it's
another one coming and I pray it's not me...
please don't let it be me'" Jackson also
stated that he sold his own pictures of his
son to tabloids to thwart other's efforts to
obtain pictures and to stop others from
profiting from fake photos: "There were
some illegal pictures out... someone had
taken pictures of a baby for millions of
dollars and said 'here's Michael's son'... so
I took pictures of the baby" (and
received over $3 million from various
tabloids including the National Enquirer.
Most likely, the money was donated to
charity).
Jackson could be found in the
latest issue of Life magazine
sporting shots of him and his son, Prince
Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. The magazine also
reveals the godparents of Jackson's son:
Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin. After
many rumors, and Jackson himself strongly
hinting in a Life magazine photo
spread, Jackson's wife confirmed she was
indeed pregnant with their second child.
Debbie Rowe said the child is expected in May
and the baby is a girl. The couple also have
a name picked out already: Paris Michael
Katherine Jackson. Rowe stated: "I
wanted to name her Michael after Michael, but
Michael said 'no.' So we decided Paris
because that's where she was conceived
(quick, was Jackson in Paris recently?),
Michael because I really wanted Michael's
name in her name, and Katherine after his
mom."
 Jackson found some good news
relating to a court case that has been
plaguing him since 1992. The suit was filed
in Italy by a singer claiming Jackson's
"Will You Be There" was actually a
version of his song, "Swans Of
Balaka." Jackson testified in his own
defense last year. This January, judges ruled
in favor of Jackson.
It was discovered that Jackson,
a long-time fan of the animated television
show The Simpsons, wrote the hit
song "Do The Bartman" for The
Simpsons' 1991 CD The Simpsons Sing The
Blues.
It was also reported during the
month that Jackson may find a legal fight in
his future again. Jackson still owns the
rights to some Beatles songs and may be
talking business with Volkswagen to use some
of these songs for an ad campaign. If it
happens, look for the 3 remaining Beatles to put up a fight
against him. A source from the Apple Records
stated: "The 3 of them categorically
refuse to let the songs be used for
(advertisements) but the trouble with Jackson
is he has just ignored them in the
past."
Jackson became a father once
again. His wife, Debbie Rowe, gave birth to a
baby girl, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson in
Beverly Hills. A week later, Jackson received
more good news when he won a slander suit
against a free-lance writer who had told Hard
Copy that he had a video of Jackson and
a 13 year-old boy having sex. Jackson was
awarded $2.7 million and his lawyer said
"...jurors told us that they not only
wanted to compensate Mr. Jackson... but to
send a message that they are tired of
tabloids lying about celebrities for
money."
Ranked # 40 on VH-1's GREATEST ROCK 'N
ROLL ARTISTS POLL (and # 21 on Rock On The Net's
Poll).
Jackson won a lawsuit against
the U.K.'s Mirror who had ran a
pictorial story in '92 representing Jackson
as "horribly disfigured" by plastic
surgery. The details about Jackson's
settlement with a young boy's family alleging
sexual misconduct were reported by The
New York Post to the tune of $18
million.
Jackson was fined over $2,000 by
an Italian judge who ruled that he
plagiarized his hit "Will You Be There."
It was announced that Jackson
was divorcing his second wife and had been
separated since July.

Jackson hit the Top 40 with
"You Rock My World."
Jackson celebrated 30 years in
the music business as a solo artist with a
party/concert in New York City's Madison
Square Garden that included his brothers and
many performers.
Jackson announced he would do
his part to help the families of the victims
from the terrorist attacks on September 11th,
by gathering recording artists to record a
fund-raising single which he wrote called
"What More Can I Give." Jackson
stated: "I believe in my heart that the
music community will come together as one and
rally to the aid of thousands of innocent
victims. There is a tremendous need for
relief dollars right now and through this
effort each one of us can play an immediate
role in helping comfort so many people."
 October 30: Jackson released his
next LP - Invincible. The LP is said to
have cost about $30 million to make.
Jackson hit the Top 10 with "You Rock My World."
Jackson began putting together
an all-star lineup for the charity single
"What More Can I Give" to help
efforts related to the September 11th
terrorist attack.
Jackson performed in a
Washington, DC concert benefiting the 9/11
attack victims.
 November 13: A 'just-hits' version
of HIStory
Past Present & Future was released as Vol.
1 - Greatest Hits History.
Invincible topped the Billboard
200 Albums chart for a week and the Billboard
Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for 4 weeks
(selling over 366,000 in its 1st week of
release).
Invincible also topped
the LP charts in the UK (for 1 week),
Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,
Holland, Hungary, Norway, Sweden,
Switzerland, and Turkey.
Jackson made his 1st in-store
promotion appearance in New York and also
appeared on MTV's Total Request Live
for the 1st time (sorta - he was across the
street and MTV came to him).
Invincible was certified
platinum.
Jackson hit the Top 40 with
"Butterflies."
 # 96
Singles Artist of the Year
Jackson was
honored with the 'Artist of the Century'
Award at the American Music
Awards.
Invincible was certified 2x
platinum.
Jackson was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance -
Male
("You Rock My World"). Jackson chose
not to perform at the ceremony a day before
it was held.
Jackson was inducted into the
Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Jackson hired lawyer, Johnnie
Cochran, and Rev. Al Sharpton and appeared at
a press conference to place blame on Sony
Records for the poor sales of Invincible. The trio formed an
'artist-rights initiative' and condemned the
music industry and his label, Sony Music, in
a released statement. Jackson stated:
"Record companies have to start treating
their artists with respect, honor, and
financial justice. Therefore, I am proud to
join this coalition which represents all
artists."
Jackson upped his attacks
against the music industry and more specially
his record label by lashing out at the music
industry's treatment of black artists. Sony
referred to the comments as
"hurtful" and for the most part
were baffled by the statements.
Jackson's charity single
"What More Can I Give?" (meant to
benefit the families of 9/11 victims) was
included in some of the Sony-bashing dialogue
- but reports also surfaced that another
reason the single may not have been released
was that the song's executive producer has a
porn business background.
Jackson made a surprise
appearance at the MTV Video Music
Awards and was presented with a
birthday cake by Britney
Spears who called him "the artist
of the millennium." Jackson then went on
to thank many people for the award (holding a
stage prop) even though MTV stated "no
such award exists."
Jackson's charity single
"What More Can I Give" was played
on the airwaves of a New York radio station
without official permission.
Jackson appeared in a California
courtroom as a 'hostile witness' for a breach
of contract lawsuit of $21 million over 2
cancelled concerts that were to be held New
Year's Eve in 1999. Press was more focused on
the bizarreness of Jackson's appearance, odd
testimony, and late appearance during the 3
days of testimony.
Jackson further confused
spectators while in Germany he appeared on
the balcony of his 4th floor hotel window
dangling a baby over the railing for a few
seconds while smiling down on reporters and
the crowd.
Jackson talked
with a British journalist about a number of
issues including his latest son ("I used
a surrogate mother and my own sperm cells.
She doesn't know me and I don't know
her"), his 'baby dangling incident
("I would never do that to my children,
or any child. We were waving to thousands of
fans down below and they were chanting they
wanted to see my child, so I was kind enough
to let them see. They got the full experience
and he enjoyed it"), questions
surrounding facial surgeries and 2 admitted
operations on his nose ("...it helped me
breathe better so I can hit higher
notes"), and his friendships with
children ("I have slept in a bed with
many children. When you say 'bed' you're
thinking sexual. It's not sexual, we're going
to sleep, I tuck them in... it's very
charming, it's very sweet."
A lawsuit against Jackson filed
by a German concert promoter ended with a
$5.3 million judgment against Jackson. The
suit was a result of canceled millennium
concerts.
Jackson cancelled a concert in
Austria over concerns about security. The
concert had been planned to introduce a
children's charity project.
 Jackson was hospitalized briefly
prior to appearing in court for another
lawsuit (this one over the Jackson 5 name).
VH1: 100 Best
Songs of the Past 25 Years includes "Billie Jean" at # 2 and "Beat It" at # 40.
