Biography of Michael Jackson

It was evident that Michael Jackson was destined for super-stardom from his earliest Motown recordings at the age of nine. For a child, Michael Jackson could belt out a ballad or shout a soul song with the best of his mature contemporaries. On stage, his dance steps and timing were amazing -- enough so to start a rumor that he was actually a midget. Today Michael Jackson is the undisputed king of pop music. ~ Rick A. Bueche
