Michael Jackson - 50 4 Months, 1 Week ago

Michael Jackson began performing live at an early age. By the time he was eight years old, the 'prodigy' from Gary, Ind., became a lead vocalist for the Jackson 5, which included brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon. Michael quickly became the main draw of the group and by 1969, with 'I Want You Back,' was an international sensation. Here, he poses with style in London in 1972. |

The Jackson 5 were in some ways the original 'boy band,' able to dance, sing and play multiple instruments. In 1970 they released their second album on Motown Records, 'ABC.' Its resounding success propelled Michael to the world stage as 'J5' became Motown's biggest act. Here, they rock out with signature moves in London, February 1975. Michael, center, began a solo career on the side in 1979. |

Michael Jackson's solo career shot to the moon in 1979 with the chart-topping album, Off the Wall, produced by Quincy Jones. Despite his burgeoning solo career, Michael continued as lead vocalist for the Jackson 5. Here, he sparkles with some sequins and a sleeked down afro, his signature look by the late 1970s. |

Michael Jackson attends the 12th Annual NAACP Image Awards in 1980. Despite a sharp decline in his public image in later years, Michael retains the unofficial title of 'King of Pop.' His dancing skills are especially legendary. He popularized his signature move, the moonwalk, on the 1983 television special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever. |
