Michael, we love you!
The one time, king of pop may
have lost his cry in recent years,
but when the Michael jackson
circus comes into town,
they're still as Whacko as ever.
Sarar Bryton, MTV news.
So much has been said about the life
that it has become almost impossible to
disentangle the man from the myth.
He's been performing
since the age of five,
breaking records since he was 11
and a star without equal
since the age of 21.
Recent revelations are only
the latest instalments
of a saga that began decades ago.
From his drilling as a child star
with the The Jackson five.
to his rise as the king of pop
followed by his public humiliation
and spectacular fall from grace.
We'll be examining the real
story and fame phenomena
of a black American icon who was destined to
become the most controversial figure
in the world.
Born in Garry in Indiana in 1958.
Michael Joseph Jackson was seventh
of nine brothers and sisters.
His father, joseph Jackson,
who had a reputation as a strict disciplinarian
organised a family band made up of his children.
Jackie, Germain, Tito and Marlin.
In 1963, at the tender age of five,
Michel Joined the group.
Joseph scheduled a strict regime
for Michael and his brothers,
relentless hours of practice,
left very little time for
normal childhood activities.
In 1966the brothers won a talent contest
at the renowned Apollo theatre
in New York's Harlem district
and within a year had supported
Gladys Night and the pips,
Gladys recommended the group
to Motown Records.
(voice of Gladys Knight)
I felt something from his group of young kids.
Joe [unclear] were very into these children
and they were struggling trying
introduced to the entertainment world.
And Jo had come by,
and the pips were, were,
were really more familiar with
the guys than i was
and they had been talking about
them for the longest time.
So i said, well hey, let me see what i can do,
so i went and we were with Motown
at the time and i went,
and i called the company and i asked them
if they could send a representative
because they were performing on the
talent show that wednesday night.
And i didn't carry a whole lot of weight
at the company at that time
and they said,well,we'll do the best we can.
Motown sent a young executive,
Suzanne De Passe to meet the boys
and the Jackson five were born.
(Voice of suzanne De Passe)
I was with Motown for about,
I'd been with them for about
in an apartment building where
another artist with the company,
Bobby Taylor lived and he called me,
because he knew i worked in Barry Gordie's office
and he said, you've got to come down.
And i went down to his apartment and there,
Sort of stretched out across
Michael and his brothers and Jo
who were with them at the time
and i was like curious and he clapped,
Bobby clapped his hands and said,
okay boys, get up,
let's sing and Michael and his brothers got up
and they sang A Capella
and it really blew me away.
just three months after his ninth birthday,
by the age of 10 he became lead vocalist.
A year later he and his older brothers
I Want You Back.
It became more than just a hit.
It was an oral steamroller.
It shot to number one in America
selling 2 Million copies.
Michael was just 11 years old.
Jackson mania had arrived.
