MICHAEL
LEGEND, HERO, ICON
JACKSON
A TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF POP
JAMES ALDIS
Michael Jackson was without doubt the greatest performer ever to have lived. In his own lifetime he became a legend, transcending the boundaries that separated white and black audiences, creating sounds that had never before been heard, and writing music that will remain in the hearts of listeners for generations and generations to come. Never before or since has a recording artist achieved so much from record-setting albums to astonishing acts of charity and his impact on the domain of not only popular music but world culture itself will be felt down the ages. As a man and a performer Michael Jackson was totally unique. Influenced by the ghosts of an extraordinary childhood, he also faced unflagging public scrutiny. The media frenzy which surrounded his untimely death was already a constant presence in a life that seemed to hold so little privacy but to offer so many intriguing questions. Yet whatever the doubts and blame generated by his death, his legacy to the world will live on untarnished: as a man who wrote songs for the whole world to sing.
The incomparable Michael Jackson has made a bigger impact on music than any other artist in the history of music. He was magic. He was what we all strive to beI love you, Michael.
Beyonc Knowles
Everyone who loved Michael Jackson will carry with them their own favourite personal memories for the rest of their lives. For some it will be the first time they saw Michael perform with The Jackson 5, whilst for others it will be the memory of seeing him dance to Billie Jean or watching the video to Thriller for the first time. Some will remember the man the media portrayed in his final years, but to do so, or to reduce Michael Jackson to just one song, one era or one stage of his performing career, would be to deny his staggering longevity and range as an artist. In a career that spanned many genres, including soul, disco, rock and pop, he truly was the King, a crowned genius overlooking an immense musical terrain.

Steven Spielberg
Was Michael destined for his success? His talents shone so brightly from such an early age that it was perhaps inevitable that they would someday be recognized. However, few artists before or since have been shepherded so forcefully towards the stage, with music becoming an all-consuming focus of their life. It is impossible to understand Michael Jackson the man without first understanding Michael Jackson the boy, as the boy played such a strong role in the life of the man.
In this tribute to Michael Jackson the legend, we take an overview of his career, his humble background and difficult childhood, his meteoric rise to fame with The Jackson 5 and his even more vertiginous ascent to global recognition as a solo artist. Well see records broken and hearts broken in the story of a life that was like no other
