Otherwise known as Michael Joseph Jackson, the King of Pop was born on August 29th, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Michael was the 8th child of 10, born into a musically inclined family. Michael's father, Joe Jackson, formed a band called the Jackson Brothers, and in 1964, at 6 years old, Michael joined the band. For those of us who are Michael Jackson fans, the rest is history.

For his extreme levels of talent and skill, Michael Jackson is among the most awarded and celebrated musical artists of all time.
