Conrad Murray ruled him as having insomnia. Which is a disease that makes you extremely tired and keeps you up for hours with inability to sleep. After months of living off of caffeine and energy drinks he went back to his doctor for the annual check up and complained about not being able to sleep. Dr. Conrad Murray proscribed him Propofol which is used to put people down for surgery. Michael Jackson died 60 days after using this drug that was not an over the counter every day drug and should not have been prescribed to him in the first place.

    Jordan, Michael (1963–), American basketball player considered by many the greatest player in the history of the game. Standing 6 feet 6 inches tall, Jordan played both guard and forward. Above all, he has the uncanny ability, evidenced time and again in his professional career, to "take over" a game in its critical closing moments and ensure a victory for his team. Early in his career his athleticism, particularly his seeming ability to hover in midair while making dunk shots, earned him the epithet "Air Jordon," but his reputation eventually transcended the game, and he became one of a handful of international figures instantly recognizable by first name alone.…

    Michael Jackson’s life was influenced by nature and nurture. It can be argued that MJ’s voice and the ability to move is natural. This influences his singing and dancing because if he was dumb, deaf or paralysed then there would be no possibility for his singing or dancing. To sing you have to have a voice and the ability to hear music to learn it or no amount of training can help you, to dance you need to have the ability to move. However his ability to use it to sing and dance could also be down to nurture as it can be taught. You can have a voice and the ability to move and dance and still not know how to use it to sing and dance, this would need to be taught.

    Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on 1958, and it wasn’t short after that that he would hop onto the fast track to a life chock-full of success, happiness, turbulence, and controversy. At the extremely early age of five, Michael became the lead singer of the legendary Jackson 5, a group consisting entirely of his family members. With being as young as he was, Michael’s vocal work was amazing and he was able to showcase emotions very well. The Jackson 5 was eventually signed under Motown and the Motown music style can be seen as an influence in some of Michael’s later songs. Despite Michael launching his extremely successful solo career at the age of 13, he still continued to work with his family in The Jacksons (renamed from the Jackson 5 after their departure from Motown) and his numerous hit songs helped the group’s popularity even more. It cannot be stressed enough the impact that Michael’s family had on his career. His father’s determination to train his sons and turn the…

    American superstar Michael Jackson has entertained audiences his entire life. In the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined in. Michael's singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of The Jackson 5. In 1969, the boys were producing back-to-back chart-busting hits as Motown artists ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Got to Be There," etc.). Behind the scenes, Joseph Jackson pushed his sons to succeed. He was also reportedly known to become violent with them. Michael and his brothers spent endless hours rehearsing and polishing up their act. At first, the Jackson 5 played local gigs and built a strong following. They recorded one single on their own, "Big Boy" with the B-side "You've Changed," but it failed to generate much interest. The Jackson 5 moved on to working an opening act for such R&B artists as Gladys Knight and the Pips, James Brown, and Sam and Dave. Many of these performers were signed to the legendary Motown record label, and it has been reported that Gladys Knight may have been the one to tell Motown founder Berry Gordy about the Jackson 5. Impressed by the group, Gordy signed them to his label in 1968.…
