<f>A tribute to the life of Michael Jackson.</f>

<f>
Back in 1958, Michael Jackson was born into a large family in Indiana. He began his musical career at the age of 5 years old and has been entertaining us ever since. Among his many achievements, what the public should remember is the contribution he made during his lifetime to the world of entertainment, rather than the controversy surrounding his life.

As a boy, childhood was filled with entertainment. As a man, this skill was honed and perfected, and it is natural that this extent of popularity and fame affected the character of the man. His striving for perfection was kept alive right to the very end of his life, culminating with plans being made for a tour at the age of 50. This tour was never to happen, and Michael died on the 25th June 2009.

So what is it that we should remember about Michael? All over the Internet stories unfold about aspects of his life. There was even speculation as far back as 2005 that Michael had died, followed by other reports of his death last year. What is it that attracts such media attention and why does Michael merit focus on the positive aspects of his life?

The reason is simple. This performer gave the public the majority of his life. It is the very least we can do, as listeners to music and as people who appreciate the personal sacrifice given by our stars, to remember him for the work he gave us.

As a lead singer in The Jacksons in 1964, many remember the innocent child with a voice which enthralled the public with its freshness and clarity. His contribution to Motown was extensive, though little did the public know the treats he had in store for his fans, developing an unforgettable style which was imitated by youth all over the world.

Stepping stone in his career led him to becoming a formidable solo artist, with albums such as Music and Me, Off the Wall, etc., though what came next was a revolution for the musical industry. Gone was the shy boy voice which heralded the singing of Ben, remembered for its innocence and simple approach. In came the milestones in Michael Jackson's life with the dawning of Thriller, which appealed to youth worldwide, with 7 hit singles emanating from this album alone, and sales which put him into the league of Superstar.

The dance routines perfected by Michael Jackson showed an individual style, but also showed the diversity of what Michael was capable of giving his audiences. The 1984 Grammy Awards recognized the value of Michael's performance when he walked away with 8 awards.

His career has continued to stun audiences, with video presentation for songs such Earth song. Listeners will also remember songs such as You are Not Alone, at a period in the star's life when he was possibly at the most lonely of times imaginable. People pointed fingers at Michael and much speculation surrounded the private life of the star who gave the world more than just songs, but songs which gave hope, inspiration and talent to people all over the world.

They say that Michael never grew up. How many could step through life in any kind of reality, given the background of a man whose life revolved around being observed by the public? What we should remember is the music, the dance and the personal sacrifice made by Michael to the entertainment industry. His life was a hard one and a very giving one which has left the world with volumes of music which pay tribute to his sacrifice. We should in short remember Michael Jackson as an entertainer who made a difference.</f>
