Краткая биография Майкла Джексона на английском языке

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, USA. He was the eighth of ten children in the Jackson family. His father, Joseph Jackson, recognized Michael's musical talent early and pushed him to pursue a career in music. Michael started performing at the age of six as a member of the Jackson 5, a group that included his older brothers. The Jackson 5 quickly became famous, with their Motown hits like "ABC" and "I Want You Back."

In the early 1970s, Michael began his solo career, and by the 1980s, he had become one of the most influential and successful musicians in the world. His album "Thriller" (1982) remains the best-selling album of all time. Known for his unique voice, innovative dance moves (including the famous moonwalk), and groundbreaking music videos, Jackson revolutionized the pop music industry.

Throughout his career, Jackson received numerous awards, including 13 Grammy Awards. He also became known for his philanthropy, supporting various charitable causes. However, his personal life was often controversial, with legal issues and scrutiny over his appearance and behavior.

Jackson's legacy extends far beyond his music. He is often referred to as the "King of Pop" for his contributions to music and entertainment. Despite his passing on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson’s influence on music, dance, and pop culture remains profound.
