Michael Jackson was born on the August 29th of,1958

He is the king of pop music.Thriller is one of his best songs. His other famous songs are Black and White, Beat it, Billie Jean,Heal the world,Earth song.

Many people like Micheal Jackson because he wrote songs about the world.

We did a survey with Wildcats classes to find out if they really thought Michael Jackson was still alive no one really did but many people said that it felt like he was still alive because so many Yolngu people still listened to his music.

Michael Jackson when he was a young man.

Michael Jackson as a zombie in the THRILLER film clip
