Michael Jackson (1958–2009) was an iconic American singer, dancer, and philanthropist, renowned as the ‘King of Pop’. Rising to fame as part of the Jackson 5 in the 1960s, he later embarked on a solo career that solidified his status as a global cultural phenomenon. Jackson's ground-breaking music videos, including hits like ‘Beat It’ and ‘Thriller’, broke racial barriers and reshaped the industry. Despite immense success, he faced controversies, including allegations of child sexual abuse, for which he was acquitted. Jackson's tragic death in 2009 shocked the world, leaving behind a legacy of unprecedented musical achievement and cultural influence. With over 500 million records sold worldwide and numerous awards, including 15 Grammys, his impact on music and dance remains unparalleled, cementing his place as one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
