Biography / Administrative History
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009), was the youngest member of the Jackson 5—just 11 when the group had their first hits in 1970. Buoyed by the sibling troupe's success, Jackson launched a solo career in 1971 that spawned the Motown-inspired hits "Got To Be There" and "Ben" and a funky cover of "Rockin' Robin." The regal moniker fit Jackson to a tee in the '80s, when 1982's Thriller went supernova and established him as the most popular performer in the world. Besides being a sophisticated musical tour de force amalgamating R&B, soul, pop, disco and rock, the album boasted elaborate music videos. But in 1983, when he did the moonwalk for the first time, he became the "King of Pop." Michael Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 with the Jackson 5 and then again in 2001 for his solo career.
