dancer, and entertainer. Referred to as the King of Pop, he is the most commercially successful

popular culture for over four decades. Alongside his brothers, he made his debut in 1964 as lead
singer and youngest member of The Jackson 5, and later began a successful solo career in 1971.
His 1982 album Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, with Off the Wall (1979),
Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and History (1995) also among the world's bestselling albums.
