Its cake time for yesteryear's King of Pop. Michael Jackson celebrates his 50th bday today.
Michael Jackson has had a tumultuous career that spanned almost four decades. He was born in Indiana on Aug 29, 1958. Regardless of all the controversies, regardless of all the accusations, regardless of the creepy lifestyle, Wacko Jacko is one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
M.J had eight more siblings and appeared for the first time on TV at a tender age of 11. In 1969 the brothers created the famous band 'Jackson 5' that spawned hits like "ABC" and "I'll be there". Ten years later MJ went solo and released his smash hit debut album 'Off the Wall'. The album included hits like "Don't stop till you get enough"
Four years later, in 1982 MJ released the astoundingly successful album 'Thriller'. The album brought a renaissance to music marketing and pop music. John Landis directed the ubiquitous video of 'Thriller' that has since become a household name.
In 1987 MJ hired Martin Scorcese to direct the video for his new album single, Bad. And it turned out to be another stellar hit. The album contained pop hits "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror" and "Dirty Diana". The album sold over 25 million copies worldwide, and shipped eight million units in the US.
Four more years later, in 1991 MJ's highly anticipated "Dangerous" released. This album had a rougher edge when compared to MJ's earlier work. Although critically not as successful, the modern audience loved the songs that included massive hits like "Black or White", "Heal the world", "Remember the time", "Jam", "In the closet" and "Give in to me".
His greatest hits, titled 'History' released in 1995 that had the enormously successful "Earth Song".
We wish MJ a Happy Birthday and hope that he makes a comeback that will silence all his critics.
