Revered as one of the most influential entertainers in music history, Jackson&#8217;s impact on the world of music, dance, fashion, and humanitarianism remains unmatched even over a decade after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, Michael Joseph Jackson was a child prodigy whose journey to global stardom began as the youngest member of the Jackson 5. His early hits, such as <em>\u201cI Want You Back,\u201d<\/em> <em>\u201cABC,\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cI\u2019ll Be There,\u201d<\/em> announced the arrival of a sensational young talent.

His 1992-founded <em>Heal the World Foundation<\/em> epitomized his vision of a more compassionate world.
