One of well-loved icons in the music industry, Michael Jackson, passed away on June 25, 2009. Jackson died while he was rehearsing for his "come back" concert. Hours of rehearsal footage was captured and turned into a film. It is expected that once released on DVD, millions of people around the world will buy, "This Is It" as a cherished memory. The movie opened on October 28th with a two week run. To satisfy worldwide demand, an audio disk was also released to accompany the release of the movie. The DVD release was to be released in time for Christmas 2009.
Jackson has an enduring legacy beginning in 1964 when he and his brothers formed the Jackson 5. The band is known for many pop hits including titles such as: "I Want You Back," "The Love You Save," and "ABC." While the group did not officially disband until later, Michael embarked on his solo career in 1971.
The king of pop was born with the release of "Thriller" in 1982. To this day, the "Thriller" album still holds claim to the title of Best Selling Album of All-Time. In addition to this honor, four of his other album releases rank "among the best selling" albums of all time. These are the four albums (in chronological order): "Off The Wall," "Bad," "Dangerous," and "HIStory." Along with album titles, Jackson also holds title to 17 number one singles.
The king of pop has the uncommon honor of twice been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He has also received 13 Grammy Awards and 22 American Music Awards.
