Life
Michael Jackson to 30 years of age.
Early in the group The Jackson Five
Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary (Indiana) on August 29, 1958, seventh in a family of nine siblings in the 2300 Jackson Street. His father, Joseph Jackson, was working as a crane operator in a metal smelting plant, which only served to support her family.
Joseph was an amateur musician and had an electric guitar, but very strict when trying to impose rules and punishments, its use was banned from their children. However, the older brothers Jackie, Jermaine and Tito, began to use it when his father was not at home, and what began as a game became a hobby. His mother, Katherine, permitting convinced it was best to stay at home and not on the streets of a city problem as Gary.
Over time, Joseph decided to create a band with four of his sons, Tito, Jackie, Jermaine and Marlon. At that time Michael was too small (3 or 4 years) but only wanted to see them and join the group and occasionally “worked” playing some bongos. Later discovered by his mother while he sang and amazed by its ease and talent, asked her husband to listen and thus a very young Michael Jackson, just five years, became, in place of his brother Jermaine in the lead singer of the group, which first was called Ripples & Waves, then Ripples & Waves Plus Michael, and finally, The Jackson Five.
The group performed for years at various clubs and entertainment venues along the eastern states and Midwest of the country, participating in numerous competitions and festivals for amateurs, acting in such emblematic places as the Apollo Theater in New York. In 1968, as recommended by Gladys Knight and Bobby Taylor of the producer, did an audition for the Motown label. Berry Gordy, owner and head of the label, decided to hire immediately after viewing a videotape in which a young Michael Jackson makes versions of issues of James Brown along with his brothers.
Under the guidance of artistic Taylor, puliéndose and continued to work for a year or so until in October 1969 released their first single, I want you back.

Their next three singles, ABC, The love you save I’ll be there and came to the top, causing a real and genuine rage “jacksonmania” where there iban.
However, this success had a very high price for the Jackson brothers in their emotional development, especially for younger (including Michael), and counted according to Michael himself, the tests require an enormous effort was prolonged until the evening and his father had a very strict control over them and almost despotic. The whirlwind of activities and continued exposure to the press to Michael snatched a normal development during childhood and adolescence, restricting the circle of her friends with whom she worked. As told Oprah Winfrey, was unable to play or interact with other children their age.
Solo raid

The song Ben, who was the subject of the film of the same name, recorded Jackson’s fame as a singer in a very melodic voice.

The Jackson came back to the top of the charts with Blame it on the boogie, Shake Your Body (Down to the ground) or Can you feel it. In 1978, Michael engaged in a remake of the film The Wizard of Oz, played by African American actors in the role of “Scarecrow.” The film was not well received by the public, but at least they were served to Michael and the future of his biggest hits producer: Quincy Jones.
