Born on August 29, 1958, King of Pop Michael Jackson would have, and probably should have been enjoying his 59th birthday today. His death in 2009 shocked and stunned the world.
Twice on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and twice in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Michael Jackson led the way through the 70’s, the 80’s, the 90’s, and into the new millenium with his music. His music videos were as good as his music, as the “Thriller” video broke all boundries and blazed new trails for what would become an new artform for musicians.
Guinness World Records lists Michael Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time, along with numerous Grammys, American Music Awards and 13 number one singles.
