Michael Jackson 1958-2009: The Greastest Entertainer In The World

I am still in shock about Michael Jackson death, he died of apparent cardiac arrest in Los Angeles. Known to mankind as the greatest entertainer in the world, Michael broke through barriers of race, religion and age that no other entertainer has ever done. Generations of my family grew up on music of Michael Jackson.

The seventh of nine children of Joesph and Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958 and began his career with his brother in the Jackson 5 at the age of 11. Michael branched out on his own with successful albums such as Off the Wall,(1979), Thriller(1982), Bad(1987), Dangerous(1991) and History(1995). Thriller is the best selling album of all time.

My sisters and I were fanatics about Michael Jackson in the eighties. We own every t-shirts, buttons, and posters that was ever made. Regardless of all the scandals and plastic surgeries, Michael Jackson will always be the "King of Pop" and the greatest entertainer. I will pray for his children, Michael Joseph, Paris and Prince to overcome this tragedy. Everyone should live their lives like it's no tomorrow because we never know when God is going to call us home. We all should be bless to experience such a genius.
