Michael Jackson spent nearly his entire life as a public performer. The Jackson Five - Michael, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon and Tito - signed to Motown Records at the end of 1968, and were immediately groomed for stardom: "They'll have three No. 1 records in a row," Motown founder Berry Gordy famously announced before any records were released. It seemed inevitable that young MJ would spin off as a solo artist. He released four solo albums for Motown - 'Got To Be There', 'Ben', 'Music & Me', and 'Forever, Michael'.
It was at Motown where MJ first bared his young soul and was set on his path to becoming the biggest pop star of our time. He died at age 50, much too young, on June 25, 2009. He is loved, he is missed. He is Forever, Michael.
