Michael Jackson
A singer and dancer who began in the child line-up of the Jackson 5 and in 1982 released Thriller — still the best-selling album in the history of recording. His short films changed what a music video was for; his last fifteen years passed in courtrooms and seclusion.
Born in Gary, Indiana, on 29 August 1958 at 19:33 Central Standard Time: Indiana did not keep summer time then. The hour is given consistently in references, though the sources differ.
