Michael Jackson
Love him or hate him, there is simply no way we can deny that he was one of the biggest musicians of the 20th century. He first attained stardom as a member of the Jackson 5 alongside his siblings Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Tito. In 1971, he began his highly successful solo career under Motown Records. He released timeless songs like “Bad”, “Thriller”, and “Dirty Diana”. He is actually the third best-selling artist in history! He is believed to have sold more than 350 million records over the years. He passed away at the age of 50, but needless to say, he will never be forgotten.
