Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. The 8th of 10 children, Michael had his first tryst with music as a singer in the Jackson family band, Jackson 5, in 1964, at the tender age of five. Jackson 5 played at local nightclubs and also participated in competitions. Despite his young age, he soon carved a niche for himself as a singer and dancer of exceptional ability. Jackson 5 ruled the charts in the late '60s and the early '70s. After signing a contract with Motown, Jackson 5 had to shift their base to California. This was followed by chart busters like 'I Want You Back,', 'Dancing Machine', 'The Love You Save' and 'I'll Be There' in 1970. Jackson 5 remained with Motown till 1975, while Jackson's solo career started in 1972. In 1976, Jackson 5, now re-branded as the Jacksons, switched to Epic Records.
Jackson's childhood was difficult, and had a heavy influence on his life. His father was a very strict disciplinarian, and though Michael later attributed his success to the strict singing practice conducted by his father, it also had a demoralizing effect on the budding entertainer's mindset. He suffered from various psychological issues, including chronic and persistent sleep problems, due to his childhood.

Michael first met his future producer, Quincy Jones, on the sets of The Wiz, a musical version of The WIzard of Oz starring an all-African American cast. Despite his later success as a musician, Jackson was an actor in this film; he played Scarecrow.
Jones was influential in Jackson's most famous release, Thriller, in 1982. This record-busting album is reputed to have sold more than 60 million copies, though certified sales only indicate about 42.4 million. It is the highest-selling album in music history, and established Michael as the King of Pop, a moniker that has now very much become his own.
One of the most famous images in the world, and the one most associated with Michael Jackson, is the fantastic 'moonwalk'. It was first performed by him in public on Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, a 1983 TV special commemorating the 25th year of the popular music production company, Motown Records.
Jackson didn't relent his pursuit of musical innovation and success, with his album Dangerous selling more than 20 million certified copies. The album contained one of Jackson's most famous songs, Black or White. This album was notable as the first Jackson album to feature a rapper, as well as one of the pioneering works in the new jack swing genre.
By Jackson's astronomical standards, his only original album in the 2000s, Invincible, was not extremely popular. Having said that, it still managed to sell 13 million copies, in spite of being released at a time of a general slump in the music industry, without an accompanying world tour, and with very little promotion.
