Today guys I read about a famous man. If you don't already know this man was very special, not saying your not special, just that he was the "King of Pop". The man is called Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was a very talented singer and realized he was an amazing dancer later on. The thing is his name is confusing for me. You see usually when I say names like his I usually spell it "Micheal", however you spell his name like this "Michael". Thats why I will purposely spell his name wrong for the sake of difficulty. Now lets start talking a bit about him.

Micheal Jackson was born in Gary Indiana. He and his brothers formed a band called the "Jackson Five". The "Jackson Five" were really popular and their most recognizable figure was Micheal himself. While they entered contests the band had a dream to get a record deal with a place called "Motown Records". Apparently this record deal could be bigger than any other record deal where they live. Fortunately for them the "Jackson Five" did get a record deal and became stars already. The leader of "Motown" was called Berry Gordy. The Berry heard their song he already knew that the "Jackson Five" would become number one on the music charts.

"Motown" then moved to Los Angeles, California in order to record labels there. The place where the band lived was right next to a famous star called Diana Ross. She was part of a group called the "Supremes". Diana taught Micheal most of his art and music during his childhood. Soon enough the group were pop stars and had to be taught discipline. Luckily Micheal's mother always used to inform them about manners in and off the table. Micheal now didn't really like all the attention he was getting. All the girl fans would try and grab him. Sometimes they could actually hurt him accidentally.

Later on in life Micheal became uglier. His growth spurt wasn't functioning well and he had lots of pimples on his face. He was so embarrassed that whenever he washed his face the kid would turn off the lights to cover his monstrosity of a face. His brothers and father would also laugh at him or joke about the pimples. After a while one of the Jacksons left the band in order to marry Berry's daughter. When the change happened Micheal decided to leave also on purpose. Instead he acted in a movie called "The Wiz" with Diana Ross. It was one of his happiest moments.

Micheal then created more songs and at the Grammy he one an award. It was for the highest award in the music business. Then Micheal decided to fire his manager which by the way was his dad. He just didn't want his father to keep being around him every step of the way and hired a new manager by the name of "Paul McCartney". Together they even created a song called "The Girl is Mine". Micheal Jackson then made a huge hit because of a song called "Thriller". "Thriller" sold ten million copies in one year. At ten years the song reached up to one hundred million copies sold. It was phenomenal. Anyway next time I post guys Ill talk about the rest.
