Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he started on the professional music career along with his brothers as a member of  The Jackson 5, then the Jacksons in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. Jackson’s 1982 album, Thriller, is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world’s best-selling albums. Michael Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the first dancer from the world of pop and rock ‘n’ roll.

“The King of Pop” died June 25th 2009, at 2:26pm, due to cardiac arrest, at the age of 50.
Cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack. When you have a heart attack, your heart still beats, at least initially, sending blood and oxygen around the body. A severe heart attack can actually cause a cardiac arrest. When you go into cardiac arrest, your heart stops completely. Most people who are not resuscitated after around ten minutes will die, due to lack of oxygen flow to the brain.

Dangerous....

Dangerous is the eighth studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson, released November 26, 1991 on Epic Records. It became his second to debut at number 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, where it spent the next four consecutive weeks. The album has sold over 32 million copies worldwide. The album won one Grammy for Best Engineered Album – Non Classical won by Bruce Swedien and Teddy Riley, and is the most successful new jack swing album of all time.
Dangerous was released on November 26, 1991 with record-breaking sales.Dangerous was Jackson's fastest-selling album ever in the United States with seven million shipped in under two months. This broke the sales record for Bad, which had also shipped seven million copies in 1987, but in four months.
Dangerous at number 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with 326,500 copies sold in its first week. It held the position for four weeks. Jackson promoted the album with a high-profile performance at the Super Bowl and an interview with Oprah Winfrey, but it did not return to the number 1 slot. However, it returned to the Top Ten after Jackson received the Grammy Legend Award at the 1993 ceremony. Dangerous spent 117 weeks in the Billboard 200, thirty more than Bad. The RIAA certified Dangerous seven times platinum (seven million copies).
In the United Kingdom, the album débuted at number 1, holding off U2's Achtung Baby, but in the second week it was replaced by Queen's Greatest Hits II. Dangerous spent 23 weeks in the top 10, and a total of 96 weeks on the top 75 chart.
"Black or White" was produced and co-written by Bill Bottrell. The single was Jackson's biggest hit since 1983's "Billie Jean". In all, nine singles were released, spanning two years (1991–1993). A planned single release of the title track "Dangerous" was canceled in late 1993 due to child molestation allegations. Seven singles reached the UK top 10, the most for any Jackson album.

Experience

The Michael Jackson Experience has been touring for just over a year. Venues are mainly in smaller towns: Chatham, North Bay and Saskatoon. They recently played a sold-out show at Stage West, a 300-seat dinner theater in Mississauga. It’s quite the night out. A $60 ticket gets you access to a sprawling buffet of roast beef, butter chicken and an ice-cream bar. When the lights dim for the performance, you can hear the murmur of anticipation. Much of the audience is dressed in their Sunday best.

Lamothe is protective of Soul. “Probably 99 per cent of Michael Jackson tribute artists in the world don’t do live singing,” he says. “Bishop does. It’s really tiring out there. I’m working really hard to pace him.” On the road, they stay in nice hotels. They rarely do two shows back to back.

ABOUT THE SERIES.......

Statistics can tell us how many hairdressers, dentists and restaurateurs there are in a given area. They can tell us average salaries and unemployment rates.

But they can’t explain how a person ends up where they do. In a 12-part series, Mary Albino looks at what people across the city do for a living and the stories behind those choices. For more, visit http://www.thestar.com/living
