The King of Pop

Michael Jackson. Do you know who Michael Jackson is? Michael Joseph Jackson better known as Michael Jackson, MJ, or the King of Pop was the most successful entertainer of all time. He started performing in 1964 at the age of five as the lead singer along with his brothers in a group called the Jackson 5. Michael Jackson was disciplined very harshly.
His father would whip him and his brother’s if any of them messed up during any of the dance routines but, Michael was mostly used as an example. He was the seventh out of his nine brothers. His brother Randy got hit the most because he had trouble with learning dance steps. Joe denied abusing his children.
Michael Jacksons father Joe Jackson wouldn’t even let his sons call him dad, He demanded that they call him by his first name. Michael said that he would never hit his children because he wouldn’t want them to feel the way he felt about his father. It is sad that Michael as a kid would sometimes vomit at the sight of his own father. He began his solo career in 1979.

He also supported Cure4Lupus, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities and many more. Michael started the Heal the World Charity foundation in 1992.
