Born in the USA in 1958, Michael Jackson was probably the most famous pop singer of the late 20th century.

Known as the King of Pop, he was at the top of the music charts for about 30 years.

But what made him such an exceptional artist?

Michael started his career at the age of six, in the Jackson Five group, with his older brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon.

Obviously the most gifted, he became its leader. At age 13, he brought out his first solo album.
