            迈克尔·约瑟夫·杰克逊【1958.8.29——2009.06.25，永远的流行音乐之王——永恒的记忆】，他被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为世界历史上最伟大的艺术家，被誉为流行音乐之王——世界舞王，是流行乐与演艺圈绝无仅有和最具代表性的风云人物，从20世纪80年代起为整个现代流行音乐史缔造了一个传奇时代。           

           下面介绍的是MJ的早期生活
Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, the eighth of ten children in an African American working-class family who lived in a 3-room house in Gary, Indiana, an industrial city near Chicago. His mother, Katherine Esther Scruse, was a devout Jehovah's Witness, and his father, Joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson, was a steel mill worker who performed with an R&B band called The Falcons. Jackson had three sisters: Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet, and five brothers: Jackie, Tito,Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy. A sixth brother, Brandon, who was a twin of older brother Marlon, died shortly after birth.Jackson had a troubled relationship with his father, Joe. Jackson stated that he was physically and emotionally abused during incessant rehearsals, though he also credited his father's strict discipline with playing a large role in his success.

In 1964, Michael and Marlon joined the Jackson Brothers—a band formed by brothers Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine—as backup musicians playing congas and tambourine. Jackson later began performing backup vocals and dancing. When he was eight, Jackson began sharing the lead vocals with his older brother Jermaine, and the group's name was changed to The Jackson 5. In 1966, they won a major local talent show with renditions of Motown hits and James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)", led by Michael.

The Jackson 5 recorded several songs, including "Big Boy", for the local record label Steeltown in 1967, before signing with Motown Records in 1968. Rolling Stone magazine later described the young Michael as "a prodigy" with "overwhelming musical gifts," writing that he "quickly emerged as the main draw and lead singer." The group set a chart record when its first four singles ("I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There") peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Between 1972 and 1975, Michael released four solo studio albums with Motown, among them Got to Be There and Ben, released as part of the Jackson 5 franchise, and producing successful singles such as "Got to Be There", "Ben", and a remake of Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin".

The group's sales began declining in 1973, and the band members chafed under Motown's strict refusal to allow them creative control or input. Although they scored several top 40 hits, including the top 5 disco single "Dancing Machine" and the top 20 hit "I Am Love", the Jackson 5 left Motown in 1975.

维基百科上的一些关于MJ早期的生活，大概意思是MJ出生于1958年8.29，美国中部印第安纳州的工业小城加里市的一个黑人家庭中，当地的治安非常混乱，为了避免孩子误入歧途，父亲的管教相当严厉。迈克尔和他的兄弟姐妹们都说他们的父亲对孩子非常严格，而且经常打骂他们，在家庭暴力的阴影中成长（父亲用心良苦啊）。1964年MJ和他四个哥哥组成了一个组合，就是大名鼎鼎的The Jackson 5，这个组合以迈克尔为主唱。之后他们在俱乐部和酒吧演唱，在美国西部迅速走红。67年与当地的钢城唱片公司(Steeltown Records)签订了第一张唱片合约，并且有了一支地区上榜歌曲《Big Boy》。杰克逊5人组在1968年被Gladys Knight发掘，并把他们带进摩城唱片(Motown Records)。Jackson 5在摩城唱片的专辑中，上榜歌曲包括《Got to Be There》(1971年，首张个人专辑)、《Rockin' Robin》、《I Wanna Be Where You Are》及冠军歌曲《Ben》(均在1972年发行)。
本人推荐的单曲是：got to be there ,  ben , music and me.
第一次听到got to be there 完全被MJ那种童声震撼了啊，天籁啊有木有，各种高音啊，各种书情啊，大家应该都去听一听啊，在小时候就已经这么厉害了，怪不得以后成为了 king of pop！
