MICHAEL JACKSON

Michael Joseph Jackson born on the 29th of August of 1958 and died on the 25th of June of

2009. He was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the

King of Pop, his contributions to music, dance and fashion along with his publicized personal

life made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.

The eighth child of the Jackson family, Michael made his professional debut in 1964 with his

elder brothers as a member of the Jackson 5, and began his solo career in 1971.

In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. His music videos,

including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller" from his 1982 album Thriller, are

credited with breaking racial barriers and transforming the medium into an art form and

promotional tool.

He continued to innovate with videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" throughout the

1990s, and forged a reputation as a touring solo artist. Through stage and video

performances, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the

robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive sound and style has

influenced numerous artists of various music genres.

Thriller is the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies

worldwide. He is recognized as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time by Guinness

World Records.

Jackson has won hundreds of awards, making him the most awarded recording artist in the

history of popular music. He became the first artist in history to have a top ten single in the

Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades.

Jackson traveled the world attending events honoring his humanitarianism, and, in 2000, the

Guinness World Records recognized him for supporting 39 charities, more than any other

entertainer.

Aspects of Michael Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal

relationships, and behavior, generated controversy. While preparing for his comeback

concert series, This Is It, Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on

4

June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. Forbes ranks Jackson as the top-earning

dead celebrity, a title held for a sixth consecutive year, with $115 million in earnings

JOHN LENNON

John Lennon was a key member of the Beatles. He went on to have a distinguished solo

career, and became an icon of the 1960s counter-culture revolution.

“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the

Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal. “

– John Lennon

When he was 4 years old, Lennon's parents separated and he ended up living with his Aunt

Mimi.

As a child, Lennon was a prankster and he enjoyed getting in trouble. As a boy and young

adult, he enjoyed drawing grotesque figures and cripples. Lennon's school master thought

that he could go to an art school for college, since he did not get good grades in school, but

had artistic talent.

Whilst in his early teens he got his first guitar and would spend many hours playing. His aunt

Mimi, used to regularly say:

“The guitar’s all very well, John, but you’ll never make a living out of it.”

After, the Beatles were famous John presented Mimi with a silver platter out of this.

Forming the Beatles

Elvis Presley's explosion onto the rock music scene inspired a 16-year-old Lennon to create

the skiffle band called the Quarry Men, named after his school. Lennon met Paul McCartney

at a church fete on July 6, 1957. He soon invited McCartney to join the group, and the two

eventually formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships in musical history.

McCartney introduced George Harrison to Lennon the following year, and Harrison and art

college buddy Stuart Sutcliffe also joined Lennon's band. Always in need of a drummer, the

group finally settled on Pete Best in 1960.

The Beatles were discovered by Brian Epstein in 1961 at Liverpool's Cavern Club, where they

were performing on a regular basis. As their new manager, Epstein secured a record contract

with EMI. With a new drummer, Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey), and George Martin as

producer, the group released their first single, "Love Me Do," in October 1962. It peaked on

the British charts at No. 17.

Beatlemania

In 1964, the Beatles became the first British band to break out big in the United States,

beginning with their appearance on television's The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964.

Beatlemania launched a "British Invasion" of rock bands in the United States that also

included the Rolling Stones and the Kinks. Following their appearance on Sullivan, the

Beatles returned to Britain to film their first film, A Hard Day's Night (1964), and prepare for

their first world tour.

The Beatles Break Up

In 1969 the Beatles had started to split up; it was John Lennon who was the main factor

behind this. After 1970, John Lennon created a very successful solo career, often with the

help of his second wife, Yoko Ono. In the early 1970s John Lennon also became a figurehead

for the anti war Movement. His song “Give Peace a Chance” became an anthem for the anti-

war movement. Due to his anti war stance the Nixon administration tried to have him

deported, but after a long struggle he was able to gain a green card in 1976. His song

“Imagine” has also become a tremendously influential song; it was voted ‘most popular

song’ by the British public.

John Lennon was shot dead in 1980, by David Chapman – an obsessed fan. Lennon died at

New York City's Roosevelt Hospital on December 8, 1980, at the age of 40.

The death shocked the world, both musical and non musical.
