 * Our Legacy - Michael Jackson**

**Michael Jackson was a world wide superstar.** **At the age of 4 years old, he found his passion for singing when he joined the Jackson 5 with his brothers, Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Marlon Jackson and Randy Jackson. As he went through his teenage years to his early 20's he discovered another amazing talent, Dancing.**

**Michael loved dancing, He had his own moves such as the moonwalk that is known worldwide and amazed fans. By the time he was 25 years old he had sold millons of albums and had record deals being offered from every producer. Because of all this amazing music Michael was given the title "King Of Pop".Though Michael had extrodinary talents, people still looked past it and looked at all the negatives about him. Such as his bleached skin and nosejob, But wouldn't you want to bleach your skin if you had skin cancer, and started to get white blotches all over your body? Wouldn't you want to get a nosejob if you father had called you "big nose" your whole life?** **Behind all the talent and fame was a very caring philantropist who gave most of his earnings of his music towards charity.**

**Michael Jackson was an amazing man, as well as brother, father and husband.** **His death was a tragedy to many people worldwide and Michael Jackson will be remembered for generations to come.**

**If i could ask Michael Jackson 2 questions, They would be:**

**1. What really inspired you to dance and sing?** **2. If you knew you only had a day to live what would you do in those last 24hours?**

**His answers would most likely be:** **1. When I was a kid my brothers were****always singing and they already had made the jackson5 before I was born. So i guess my brothers.** **2. I would give money to all the 30 charities I had given to in the past and put on a BIG show for all my fans and everyone I love, Then i would spend time with my friends and family.**
