Michael Jackson might have turned 64 today, had it not been for his sudden death following the controversial stand-off with the doctor who was convicted of manslaughter.
set precedent
The King of Pop influence has remained ever since he laid the groundwork for success in the world of pop music. It took hard work and total dedication to become King, from his humble beginnings in Gary, Indiana to be the legendary singer we all know.
First he fought his brothers
Being the most talented musician in a band of great musicians will be noticed by the audience, sometimes bitter. When he began his solo career, the rest of the Jackson family did not have the best attitude towards Michael.
Motown and Quincy Jones to the rescue
Fortunately, there were others who saw all the potential of the “little” Michael Jackson. In 1972 Michael released his first solo album while still with his brothers at the Motown Company. The album’s opening track was a cover of Bill Weather’s legendary song “Ain’t no sunshine” which performed flawlessly and was a huge statement among the musicians of his day.
I’ve liberated and made it big
After that, it was only natural that he quit Jackson 5 and did his own thing, right after that, he released Off The Wall right at the end of the disco era, then set a precedent for the new contract with The juggernaut Thriller that gave him the recognition he deserved, but fame comes at a price.
King vs Prince
At the same time as Michael Jackson was flying high, the multi-talented Prince was also looking forward to the spotlight, and while Michael was willing to collaborate with Prince, the latter showed him a song, however, Michael wasn’t a fan and wasn’t really interested, so Prince considered it insulted and started a lifelong rivalry.
After that, Michael tried to atone by seeking cooperation
During the release of his next album, “Bad,” the collaboration was looking forward to happening, but that didn’t happen, and eventually Prince ended up hating Michael’s album, and some say he said, “The album is called Bad because there wasn’t enough room to be called pathetic.”
