About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The legendary American singer, songwriter, and dancer Michael Joseph Jackson revolutionized popular music and culture over his 40-year career. Dubbed the "King of Pop," Jackson was one of the most influential entertainers of the 20th century. His musical talent, iconic dance moves like the moonwalk, fashion sense, and much-publicized personal life made him a global pop culture icon.
Jackson first rose to fame as a child star with his brothers in the Jackson 5. After launching an incredibly successful solo career in the 1970s, Jackson cemented his status as a global superstar with his sixth solo album Thriller in 1982. Thriller went on to become the world's best-selling album of all time. Jackson's revolutionary music videos for hits like "Beat It," "Billie Jean," and the epic "Thriller" broke down racial barriers and transformed the medium into an art form. His dance moves, like the moonwalk he debuted during a performance of "Billie Jean," captivated audiences.
Jackson continued innovating with subsequent albums like Bad and Dangerous, scoring more chart-topping hits and honing his signature dance techniques. His stage presence and choreography inspired countless musicians across all genres of music. Over his unparalleled career, Jackson amassed a record-breaking number of accolades, including 13 Grammy Awards for his musical artistry. Though a deeply private person, Jackson's personal life remained in the public eye. But it was his immense talent and trailblazing music that cemented Michael Jackson's legacy as the King of Pop.
