Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 19, 1958. Michael's father, Joe Jackson, worked as a crane operator at a steel mill. His mother, Katherine, took care of the family and sometimes took part time jobs. Both of Michael's parents loved music. His dad played guitar for an R & B band and his mother sang and played the piano. Growing up, all of the Jackson children were encouraged to study music. The Jackson Family Michael grew up in a large family. He had five brothers (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy) and three sisters (Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet). Michael was the third youngest with Randy and Janet both being younger. The Jacksons were fairly poor and lived in a small house with just two bedrooms for eleven people. A Strict Father Joe Jackson was a very strict father. He didn't allow the kids to have a lot of friends and he often whipped the children if they disobeyed. He wanted them to stay out of trouble and away from gangs. Later, when the Jackson 5 was still getting started, Joe would push the boys to practice for hours. He would hit them or verbally abuse them if they made a mistake. A Young Singer The three older brothers (Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine) formed a band called the Jackson Brothers.

  • The Jackson 5
    The Jackson 5 Group 1: Elizabeth Nessim, Lydia Sour, Lauren Johnson, Jimmy Schmidt, Madie Domm, Megan Koenig Statement of Interest We selected the Jackson 5 as our topic for this presentation because they were, and continue to be, a significant leader in the evolution of rock music through the decades. Out of this group, the world renowned Michael Jackson emerged as a legend of pop music. Furthermore, the group's vast influences on artists, and culture, paved the way for the exploration of new musical styles through the later half of the twentieth century. We wanted to explore the roots of significant artists to better understand how they influenced the music of today. Overview of the Group (5) • American popular music group • Formed in 1963 under the name: The Jackson Brothers • They entered the professional music scene four years later in 1967 • They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, but their music covered numerous other genres including: - R&B - Soul - Disco - Funk - Dance-Pop - Pop Rock Motown (2) • Small record label (originally called Tammie Records, later changed to Tamla Records) started by Berry Gordy Jr., an African American -Preference for sophisticated jazz music, not as much for Rhythm and Blues -Based out of Detroit (because of the large black population) • “Shop Around” by the Miracles in 1960 became a #2 hit against all odds • Motown then became the “Cinderella Story” of the recording industry • Within 7 year, Motown had become an empire The Motown Style The Motown style included: • A professional orchestration and vocals (lead singer with vocal backup) • Catchy rhythms and lyrics that appealed to a wide audience • There is a strong beat with a heavy backbeat reinforced by clapping • Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, and Pop influences • No improvisation, very controlled Early Years and Formation (6) From their young year, Tito, Jermaine and Jackie showed an interest in the guitar and singing, so their father formed their group naming them the Jackson Brothers, with Marlon and Michael playing the tambourine and congas.

  • MICHAEL JACKSON : Remembering the King of Pop
    MICHAEL JACKSON : Remembering the King of Pop by Valerie Mikell During an interview at the height of his career, Michael Jackson was asked, “What do you know for sure?” He replied, “I’m still learning…I can’t say I know anything for sure.” By that time, he’d been performing for more than three decades. He’d been crowned The King of Pop. He’d already released the world’s best selling album, which also earned a record-breaking eight Grammys during one show. If someone had asked him that same question little more than a decade later, what would he have replied? Reflecting on the dramatic twists and turns his life had taken, he may have reminded us that he knew he was talented. He knew he was flawed. And he realized that he was only human. Until his sudden passing at the young age of 50, Michael and the world may have forgotten that he was just a man. Much like Michael Jackson, the legends or icons we revere are not born into wealth or fed from birth with a silver spoon. They come from families filled with regular folk who work at ordinary jobs in the hopes of keeping food on the table. What is it that drives the artists and performers we idolize? Is it a need to stand out and showcase their individuality? Is it the obligation to make good of the gifts that have been bestowed upon them? Is it the desire to provide a better life for their families? Many of these things may have contributed to the success of Michael Jackson, who began his musical journey alongside his brothers and whose solo career catapulted himself to mega stardom.

  • Moonwalkertm PLAYING the GAME
    MoonwalkerTM PLAYING THE GAME LEVEL 1 There are 4 different area settings in the film studios where there are 7 parts of a rabbit costume which need to be collected by Michael so as he can disguise himself from his fans. Avoid at all costs Granny and her Grandson, the cowboys on horseback, the Biff brothers and the Japanese tourists as they will take one of your coveted Platinum discs. Once you have collected the complete rabbit suit and the 4 special items you must find the waiting motorbike to escape to Michaelsville. LEVEL 2 - MICHAELSVILLE Unfortunately Mr Big has seen through your disguise and tipped off your fans too. Road blocks have been set up which divide the town into sections. Bright shining orbs have to be collected whilst you're on your motorbike to transform you into a glittering Stratus sports car able to leap the barriers. This effect lasts for only 10 seconds so choose your path with care. If you fail to make it, you will need a fresh set of orbs. As you zoom around the streets, Mr Big's drug hoards can be destroyed by running over them. Occasionally you can also run over a trooper before he gets ahead of you. If you get far enough, then it's only a jet-ski ride from freedom, that is if the Biff brothers don't get you. LEVEL 3 - CLUB 30 So you think you're safe in Club 30? Not for long as Mr Big has discovered your hideout and means to dispose of you smartly.
