Michael Jackson – The Living Legend is, quite simply, the single most successful entertainer of the world. As a singer, composer, super dancer, arranger, and musician, he’s fashioned music that is the embodiment of modern pop and has sold more recordings than any other single artist. His live concerts are presentations of kinetic energy, unbridled emotion and the highest level of showmanship. Beyond that, he has transfixed the world like few entertainers before or since. As a solo performer, he has a level of superstardom previously known to Elvis Presley and The Beatles. Unquestionably, he’s "The Greatest Artist Of All Time". 

Jackson became an instant star as the cherubic front man in Motown’s phenomenally successful family act, The Jackson 5. But that band of brothers, who kicked off their Motown tenure in 1969 with the unprecedented feat of four consecutive nr.1 singles, was just a prelude to the heights he would scale as a solo artist in the Eighties with the success of Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad. Those three albums, and their accompanying video’s, sent Jackson into a high celebrity orbit. He has been proclaimed “The Biggest-Selling Artist of All Time”, “The Single Most Awarded Entertainer The World Has Ever Known”, “The Most Popular Artist In The History Of Show Business, “The World’s Most Famous Man” and of course, “The King Of Pop”.

However, it was Thriller that broke all records, revitalizing and revolutionizing the music business. Released in November 1982. The album received sales boosts with Jackson’s electrifying performance on the May 1983 Motown 25th Anniversary Special, where he premiered his gravity-defying “Moonwalk,” and the year’s-end release of the 14-minute mini movie-movie based on the song “Thriller”. The latter is considered the most important video clip in music history. Jackson won eight Grammy Awards and seven American Music Awards for Thriller.

In 1985, it was proclaimed the Best Selling Album of All Time by the Guinness Book of Records. In 1985, Jackson helped to topple another sales record. As the co-author of and performer on “We Are The World” – a benefit single for the USA for Africa charity, recorded with a cast of music stars – Jackson had a big hand in what became the top-selling single up to that point in history.

Michael Jackson didn’t quit the Jackson 5, even at the height of his stardom, yet his solo career obviously took precedence. Still he showed family loyalty by joining his brothers for the Jackson’s 1984 Victory album and tour.

Michael toured as solo artist after the release of the Bad album, when he undertook a 15-country juggernaut that occupied much of 1988. Bad’s canny use of urban beats, smooth jazz-funk and rock guitar in the service of some of the sharpest black pop ever recorded reaffirmed Jackson’s exclusively genius and star quality.

All the while Jackson continued to make top of the art music in the Nineties, working with cutting-edge artist-producers from the hip-hop arena. Dangerous appeared late in 1991 and was preceded by an extended video for its leadoff single, “Black Or White”.

In 1995, he issued History: Past, Present and Future – Book 1, a double album that paired 15 new songs with a greatest-hits disc. Its first single, “Scream”, was a duet with sister Janet Jackson set to a high-tech groove.

Invincible, released in October 2001, featured 16 tracks including the debut single “You Rock My World”. This time teaming up with producer’s incl. Rodney Jerkins, Teddy Riley, R. Kelly, Dr. Freeze, Jackson’s eclectic musical style is again showcased in tracks such as the opening “Unbreakable”, the Latin-inspired “Whatever Happens (featuring Carlos Santana on guitar), and  the Andrae Crouch gospel choir on the haunting track “Speechless”.
