On August 29, 1958, the world received the most precious talent from God. Michael Joseph Jackson was born and history was made. After his parents were amazed by his talent, they instantly harnessed a child prodigy. Despite the negativity displayed in the media, Michael Jackson "raised the bar and then BROKE the bar" as stated by Berry Gordy. Many have asked why I shared such an admiration for MJ. First of all, I didn't really have much of a choice. Escaping MJ's music was inevitable considering the fact that I was born into a household that played his music religiously before I could even walk or talk. Also, there was a part of MJ that the world wanted to know so bad - his secret to major success. MJ honed his craft immensely to the point where he became the first African-American to have a music video shown on MTV. Besides breaking down racial barriers, he experimented with music from different genres and grasped the attention of worldwide fans of all ages. Whether he sang Pop, R&B, or did some Rock & Roll, Jackson never failed to mesmerize and awe an audience ranging of fans from 5 years old to 80 years old. Truth be told, without MJ's iconic dance moves, brilliant sense of style, and amazing music, the world would not be as great as it is today. Having won over 366 awards, Michael Joseph Jackson is and will always be the King of Pop.
