Referred to as the King of Pop, he is the most commercially successful and one of the most influential entertainers of all times. His unique contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with a highly publicized personal life, made him a prominent figure in 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 best-selling albums. Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements feature multiple Guinness World Records - including the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" - 13 Grammy Awards, 26 American Music Awards - more than any artist, 17 number one singles in the US (including the four as a member of the Jackson 5), and estimated sales between 350 million and 750 million records worldwide making him one of the best selling artists in history. While preparing for the This Is It concert tour in 2009, Jackson died at the age of 50. His memorial service was globally broadcast, attracting a large audience. (Wikipedia) 1.
